    Trying to figure out what the hole saw mod is for.
    Wheels look nice, too bad you didn't have time to dress up the curbage for the upcoming show.

    I smoke.... is it a diesel?:D

    No it use to say I smoke crack. These are my daily rims I have a show set in storage but need to deal with stance on the car first.

    the hole saw backing just happened to be the right size for the hole that had to be filled.

    So I pulled the rear bumper off to modify today. I also pulled my tail light out to fill the drip lines under the hatch. So much work for 13 days left before the show. O well the joys of building a show car?

    So it was a no go on actually modding the bumper cause somebody used all 4 tubes of filler hardener somehow. Everything is prepped for Monday when I get more.
    Might paint my rear strut brace to match my rims this weekend though.

    So I did a few minor things today... Got my led rear Plate situation figured out and finished, fixed my speedometer, and my tail lights, also dealt with my radio and subs but for some reason one of my speakers won't work.

    Getting new tires put on tomorrow, as well as starting the body work again, need to empty the car to clean It and reinstall the interior pieces... So much to do with about 8 hours of actuall workable time do to my job before I have to leave to be in the booth in Vegas on Thursday.... More updates and Pics tomorrow
