Tom-I'll take some pics tomorrow once I put them on. I'll have the MT Radials on too.
Congrats.BTW-Called Barona Drags to ask a few questions and found out some stuff I never knew.
1) They have 9 that's right 9 lanes running at all times.
2) They have an airing station so I don't need to bring an air tank.
3) There's full on casino style gambling for all the races.
4) They've got bleachers unlike Qualcomm.
5) Only requirement to run is a helmet.
6) Racing starts at 6 and runs till 4am.
To sum it up Barona is kick ***.
Can't wait till tomorrow.

... Haha j/k. congrats! 
D-Specs came in the mail today! Fast shipment! I'll try and get these done next week possibly Tuesday.
The remote adjusters come sealed in the box? I haven't really poked inside yet. I ordered the d-specs from CR @ Tillmanspeed.

Tom2- Congrats on your new responsibilities! Be a good and fair Mod now..
Jon- They're in the box. CR opens the D-Spec box and puts the adjusters inside.

Rim Pics Out of the Garage
Here are some much better pics of the rims with some sunlight:
As far as my center caps... they are exactly what was on the 1970 Mach 1's and Boss's with the Magnum 500 rims (minus the horse emblem):
That's probably a raised emblem, but I have a friend that cuts vinyl and I'm sure I could get chrome or silver horses made.

^Tom, looks GREAT.
But, definitely do the center cap thing. IMO, it needs SOMETHING. Doesn't really matter what, just something to break it up, as the NICE machined spokes just seem to converge to solid black (from a distance).
Just my constructive criticism.

Good then get your *** down here.
Sorry I meant Mike. It's so hard to keep track of names now that its not just 4-5 people here anymore.
Who would of though it was the year of the blower and inflator kit.
I like them more with every pic you post. That was an awesome rim choice. Best part is I don't think I've seen them on any other car. I still inisist the plain black cap is fine.

Tom-The pony in the pic looks good. It would look good with or without the pony IMO.
Anyone looking at getting at 3.5" DS?

That looks great, like the silver pony best. Plain black is like Mike said leads to emptiness.
I also don't think I've seen those rims anywhere yet, good choice Tomster
