Got the vinyl for the numbers today. The guy is supposed to be by tuesday to finish it off with some blue flames. It should look pretty sweet when he's finished.

They muddy it up pretty good, The heats are kinda slow because its so slick, but by the time the main comes around its kinda starting to dry out and the mud gets sticky. plus run a little low pressure in the rear for better traction. But your right it does kinda suck.

Thanks Scotter, I'm gonna give em hell. I gotta get under there today and change out U-joints, I found yesterday when I was taping them up that the front one is so sloppy its ready to fall apart, I'm suprised it didnt break when I was rippin it up and down the drive. Better to do it now though, then to have an $8 dollar part be the reason I'm sitting in the middle of the arena cussing saying "I should've changed that." LOL. Any way here are some pics of the finished product. I'll get some closer pics of the hood befor she runs tommorrow. but it looks pretty bad ass. My buddy has about 10 or 12 hours in the air brush on it. He did it all in blue true flames, looks like propane flames. Should take the pretty car contest.
