Jr confirmed I'm good to go for next Monday to get my Ford 9" installed and finally get my back wheels back on.
Talk to upholstery guy as well and he confirmed (not that it means shit) he will have my front and rear panels back in the car by March 3rd.
So I just registered for WOW/Tuner Galeria upstairs for Saturday only.

Yeah I definitely look forward to checking it out, is WOW still in the cards?

How tall are the aftermarket tires/wheels? They make some big wheel slicks now, 24s maybe?
Yes, I’m only doing Saturday at WOW, upstairs.

Iirc, 31”. Yes they make slicks for 24’s. I have a couple of buddies who race on them.

Rear end is done, rear rims with 7” lips mounted. Also had him install a QA1 front sway and links. Front end had a rattle, he took a look and my drivers side coilover was leaking and cracked. Said he seen a few leak but never crack. Warrantied out both front coilovers. Realigned it as well. Took her for a ride and she felt really good. Best I can do on pics. Can’t really see the rear end in the picture. I’ll get a better pic when I get it up on a lift.

i truly like how they wrapped it for protection/nice/dirt/dust/scratches
would be worried about repo Jonny that would steal/hook/scoop that car in a heartbeat ..two minutes & gone

keep that car safe man,you will do well...some kind of tracking device or block it somehow
It’s got a tracking device built into the alarm and I hid an AirTag or 2 in it.

Looks awesome Shawn, love it when a good plan comes together!

Watch out for those potholes, looks like there is NOTHING on those wheels to absorb that shit!
Thanks man
Oh, dont I know lol. City potholes will take the tire and rim with it
Looking forward to seeing this thing in person at WOW. Came together really nice!

Awesome to see it all come together in time for WOW. I wasn't planning on going to the show this year, but now I'm considering. I'd love to see it in person.
As long as my door panels are done it will be there, but upstairs and Saturday only. I'll see if I can somehow hide the minor paint issues that need to be addressed
