Default Finally got her up and running - Pewter Forumula Billet Specialites Street Lites
After a few weekends of hard work, (and a huge thanks to a number of friends) project formula is now up and running. Still some minor things to be squared away by the race proven motorsports crew, but she runs/drives and looks pretty good at the moment. Let me know what you all think.

Wheel/Tire/Suspension setup
Billet Specialties Street Lites 15x10 (fbody fitment) and 15x4 1.625 BS
MT ET Radials 295/55/15 out back, 15x7 Sportsman S/Rs up front
QA1 12 way adjustable coilovers front/rear, 300# springs up front

Thanks guys! Do you like the rear center caps off or should I see how they look with them back on?

I agree it looks better w/ them off too. My only complaint is that the centercaps are a little larger (deeper) than I would like. Too bad they don't make a "shallow' version.

Stock studs for now and they barely are visible inside the nut. Probably should upgrade before I attempt to launch this thing.
