I used a piece of wood on the tranny jack to give it a flat surface to balance on. |

Ya know, normally I give people crap about buying replica wheels, but you bought some baller-ass tires so you're excused!

Not a daily yet, just a weekender and light track fun. Might be using it as a daily in the future. Yeah for sure, I've been wanting to go to 86 meets but I threw her up on stands as soon as I got her. Should be ready in a few weeks.
