    Secure perimeter fence, tower, staff, all you need is a couple of big Dobes or a couple of MINI owners to patrol the fence. :)

    Have a great day. Progress pics on the sway-bar installs, OK. :)

    All joking aside there was a breach in the perimeter fence. Repairs were already in progress.

    It is amazing how much more fun it is to drive your car when you got to work on it yourself. Thanks again Rick for the help and instruction. [​IMG]

    Tire Rack has some white letter tires still. They have a layer of white rubber in the side wall with a thin black over the top. Back when I worked autoparts we use to get the white letters spin cut on the side wall just enough to make it a white wall for a select client base.

    The paint finish is amazing! I could only get that rusty effect by stripping back to bare metal and leaving in the rain for a few days LOL
