    Nice job, Ian! I've always liked that colour on the Grabbers. It will be awesome to see it done-up as a Comet GT colour scheme. I hope to see it in Moncton this July!!!

    The tires are front 215/60/15 rear 235/60/15 I went a inch higher front and rear and a inch wider then my old bf's on the slots and I have some 26" slicks for the rear. But I own a tire shop so if I don't like how it sits ill just put somethin else on.

    It's going slow, and my car's attendance at Nationals is still a bit shakey. Kevin (77comet) and I are planning on having a MCCI Mini-meet if all goes well! I will be there regardless. If it's not in a Maverick, it'll be in the passenger's seat of a Jetstream Blue Z06...:hide:
