They are like fine wine, they just get better with age
Seriously though, IMO these tire do work a lot better after they get worn in.

Is that yours?
I studied that rig on another site a bunch before I chopped mine. So I guess your rig gave me the inspiration to chop mine.

I've debated about cutting up my tires but not sure I'd dig the looks as much, but after seeing your tires I'm thinking I might give it a shot.

Looks good. Wish I had a wraith so I could make something that sweet looking. Where'd you get the hood from?

CoCo (Going Up) got me inspired to do a bit more work on the interior. I added some bolts to hold the Diamond plate down. Good thing cause the glue I used didn't bond to the lexan very good and was beginning to fall off in some places, well not any more .
DeanO had a good idea on some simulated gauges so while the interior was out I added them too. I'm going to get some gauge stickers to cover the screw heads for a more finished look later.

Looks good... But I'm still gonna beat you on December 18th!!!!

I sure hope that we don't get teamed together, because we will be so fast that people won't want to ever come back!!!

I don't think so. Did you forget that your going up against the most setup Wraith in all of Ultra4. I've chalked up one win already and I'm primed for a second.

Okay a quick break from trash talking to post a couple pics of the fuel cell before I installed the gas cap and threw it on the rig.
