    Most of you know already (from the other thread) but I had the wheels on the SRT powdercoated. Cost me $300 and that's including dismounting, mounting and balancing all 4 wheels.

    This is how the car has been sitting in the garage since Sunday ( thanks Ron for letting me use your cheap autozone jackstands, they work great)

    On the way to my friends shop to be dismounted

    We decided that the car looked handicapped sitting on jack stands so we slid the tires underneath to make it look better. I think it worked

    Just got the wheels back, gotta get them mounted and balanced in the morning

    I guess I am gonna have to send the vampires after you, Joe. lol

    You think I was giving you my Craftsman jack stand? haha Thos 15 dollar stands from Autopuke work well. haha

    Now get them rims back on. I can't believe you didn't clean the car while it sat helplessly in the garage. :ronlove:

    The vampire is already here... I keep calling her that and she doesn't seem to mind lol

    Your jackstands are working quite well next to my Harbor Freight ones :usflag:

    And I know... but it will get washed tomorrow (probably calling in sick) <cough> :shifty:

    I'm really liking the look of the wheels painted; your car looked "naked" without any wheels and tires... shame on YOU for posting a picture like that ~ LOL ~
