    went out before daylight and cleaned the outside front of my shop. didn't realize how much overspray got on it from priming/painting inside and blowing it out with a fan.
    had to use a gray scotch bright pad and 4 hrs. of elbow grease...:whew:
    I also remove everything and clean the inside walls/ceiling once a year...:yup:
    a pic of my help...

    Test fit the 275/60/15 tires on my sons car. Had to use 3/8th's spacers so will need to install longer studs, but looks like it's gonna fit.

    The tires are a pair of old toyo's that have been collecting dust. The rims are from a late seventies Dodge Magnum and I believe they are 7 inches wide. The tires should be on an 8 inch rim but with my sons budget we're working with what we have.

    Car looks good, just the right amount of tire in fenders and just a slight rake

    Thanks, we cut a full coil off the front and at first it seemed like too much. But after living with it for a while I think it'll be ok. If it had to be done over I'd do 2/3rds of a coil.
