Well it sure looks like it was worth the wait Star Thumbs%20Up !
The rims look awesome, hopefully I'll see it all for myself.
What color paint are you planning to go with ?
Best of luck with it, and you better hope gas prices keep going down.

Yep, one of the best investments I made. Bought the the tiles through n Ebay dealer and it cost me under $500 to cover a 20X20 garage.
 
Many different colors available. Sweep, mop, doesn't stain, us can use a floor jack on it but need a piece of think plywoof under jackstands so they don't cut into the plastic.
 
Very strong and I'm very satisfied with the product! Thumbs%20Up

Paul,
I'm leaving on a business trip tomorrow and won't be back until Saturday. Maybe if I finish on Friday I might catch a later flight, and be back in time to join you guys.

Congrats on the new engine. Very nice.
Hope the carb works out OK for you.
And the wheels look great too.

Paul I think you better put them old treads on for a few weeks until the new wears off of that Big Dawg.....

I love your plans to go with the motion stripe. It will be sharp!
