Going back to Magnums?  We did 15x7s and 15x8s with 275s on the back of my brother's car.  It looked badass.

Took her home yesterday morning, what a awesome feeling to drive it home.  I just want to publicly thank all of you for your timeless support, brotherhood and friendship during a very nerve wracking experience. I doubt i could have made it all these months without you guys.  A few comments:
1. Im still on the fence about the Hood tach.
2. Shaker has to be connected up.
3. Top has to be redone.
4. Front needs a 1-2" drop.
The carnage:





Here are a few quick snaps in the driveway....sorry i couldn't get to a nicer spot for a shoot......

Looks beautiful !!! I'm proud for you. I would have to say no to the hood tack. The hood looks great with the shaker,don't stick a lump of tach behind it. Too distracting. Let the Shaker shine. Again, Beautiful !!!
