I answered in some other threads about what I do. I'm in Project Management in the subsea oil/gas industry. Mechanical Engineering degree. The offshore industry pays pretty well, and this site is also a nicely run business that has grown quite huge in only 3 years. Enough to start up a racing series this year

The new wheels/tires should be here next week. I've got a few other things coming as well (appearance-wise). Center-mount exhaust setup, and SLP SS grille. Probably going to custom paint the grille similar to my 35th grille with its black sections, and orange on the rest.

What kind of wheels and tires do you have coming?

...and yes... the oil/gas industry is "booming" right now!

These wheels: 18x9 fronts and 18x10 rears. Body Coddington Forged series F09. Mine have a polished centercap though, not the red one shown in this photo.

Those are very nice wheels. Believe a guy on the board has them but with some bright blue calipers, looks very sharp in person.

If the weather looks like crap, or I need to haul something, the truck gets the nod. Otherwise I will drive the orange car. The two red SS's are now saved for sunny day duty only. I won't take the '69 out to anywhere I can't keep an eye on it, so no shopping etc... in that one.

The red Ram Air is Lisa's daily driver. Sometimes if I don't take the truck she will often drive it. Loves that dually.

Vertical size increase also counts as 'bigger'
