    Great looking cars, Both of them. He came a long way from the start with it. I normally don't like yellow but it is done very very well. I don't know if I am the only one that noticed and the others did not say anything but.................. And I hate to even say anything after all the work but.................. The back tires are on the wrong sides. Not trying to take anything away from him or you, probably just an oversight.
    Very nice cars, I hope to get to work on mine soon. If it looks half as good as either of yours I will be happy.

    Thanks guys for all the complements! :thumbs2:
    and WoW! you guys don't play around. How could you tell that tires are on the wrong side? was it by the tread design or did you actually see the rotation arrow on the side of the tires?
    He did see that when he washed the car saturday, I guess he was too excited when he got the wheels and did not pay attention to that.:oops:
