F the haters, I seen it yesterday and literally had to scoop my jaw back up...

P.S. The gold looks much better, but I know you have a thing for different wheels on opposite sides. I remember seeing your 855 back in the day and thinking you switched wheels constantly until I realized they were different wheels on either side. :lol:

Gold looks good with that blue , bit I really like silver side.

And kudos for fitting a 9.5/10.5 wheels on c70.

How much of a fenderwork was involved

About 20 minutes for eachi side of rolling

also, needs more low :lol:

Just finished it last night and now I am in virginia getting on the auto train to orlando florida to have a date with harry...more low would need air, that I am not ready for yet. Plus I just sold my air system for $650 so I could fund my florida trip.
