    Looks great before and after. Great job on the paint. Did you lower the front or is it the larger back wheels that give it the forward rake look.

    Is the interior as good as the exterior?

    Thanks all

    Ray, I did not lower it. It's from the rear tires. As far as the interior, I'll be starting that soon. Finishing up on the wiring and stuff like that first. I have about 200 watts of audio already bought and deciding what kind of material to use on the interior, lights and stuff.

    Big Thanks on the tire sizes. That gives me something to think about. I should have asked what off sets if any are the mags.
