I think it looks good, with the exception of the top plate not covering the tan filler panel. Kinda looks outta place.

I feel the same way, more or less mis-calculated to this point... I think I might need to start over... We'll see.

I did get a couple pics with the new wheels.  Now you can see a little better just how rough it really is.

I like the stance and wheel/tire combo

Got it into pulling form over the weekend. Put in my suspension block, fixed my broken exhaust and fixed the power source to my tach finally, and added and modified my weight bar.  Can't wait for Saturday, it's been a long off season.  And of course I took a couple pics for fun.

I just run some "stock" and brush pulls and barely get out of the panhandle honestly, I am in the far NW corner of the state.

I broke my streak of eight straight 2nd place or better finishes with my first pull of the season.  I second guessed myself and took the wrong line and ended up 6th of 12 trucks.  Track was horribly sandy and soft.  My tires never hooked, motor wound up to 7000 almost instantly and I had to feather the throttle the entire time.  Later that night I re-started my streak by finishing 2nd of 7 in the heavy class.  I have since decided that the 2.72:1 low range in my 208 didn't give me near the wheel speed I need.  I swapped transmissions and stepped up to a 205 T-case over the weekend.  Sorry no pics.  I have another pull coming up on Sunday (the 26th) and I can't wait to try out the new setup.
