Hey Scott,
Here is a couple of pics of my rear end for you!!! The shadows are horrible. I don't know if you can see what your looking for. I may need to remove my mudders. The 275's are about 1 inch inside the body work of the car with a 40mm offset rim.

Nice, uh, "back porch" there Scott. From that angle it looks like one of your tips is alittle off-centered but its probably just the picture.

Well thanks a bunch!!! Now I got to go out and look at it straight on. I saw you car yesterday at Breenspeed on the dyno. It was backfiring pretty bad but they said they would get it worked out by Monday.

Thanks for the pics Scott, Great shadow shots! From what I can see, they look great! I got the 36 mm off set on my FR500's just about the same fender space!..... Take some more pics when your sober!......

I thought the engine was on fire when I seen it!...I'm sure Brent will get all the soot cleaned off it before he gives it back to you! .....

This one for you!!!

I can't believe I was just shopping online for one of these. I have so many hobby tools including at least 12 different kinds of black paint, three dremels with hundreds of bits, and 10 different kinds of CA glues and epoxies Duh, 15 minutes and done!

how do you get the ball off the tip of the antenna? i tried using the nail puller on the back of the hammer, but it wouldnt come off. is there any other trick i could try? thanks!

yeah but the ball wont poke your kids eye out!

Does it move?

I actually had to put it in the claw of one hammer and whack it with another. I smoothed the scratches with a sanding stick and repainted it semi-gloss black. I was afraid to put in the vice as it might shoot across the garage. I did it in the living room facing a corner so it couldn't go far

I seriously need to do this MOD... I havent even listened to the Radio once since I got the car... Love Sirius (cant really see the black wart on the trunk on a black car). Does the Ball tip just pop back on or do you need adhesive?

thanks kevinb120 for the help, i was able to get it off. i didnt have another hammer though. i ended just sticking the ball end in the claw and jerking on the other until the ball popped off.

thomas, if you grind the end of the antenna right, you probably wont need to use adhesive. i used my dremel to very slightly sharpen the end. probably didnt need it, but i put a drop of super glue in the ball and hammered it on the end of the antenna. that thing isnt going anywhere.

Thanks Gary for the speedy response....hows the reception?... How long did you end up going...14"??

sound wave

i dont know how much is left, but i only took off 8". it still seems a tiny bit long, but it looks better than before. i think i am going to leave it this way for a while. for me personally, i think 14" might be a bit too short. reception is fine.

oh, off note, i thought that spiral thing around the antenna was a wire, but it is metal. it is the same piece as the antenna.

14'' is the hight I cut mine in the photo's. to get the ball off put the antenna in vise use pliers to remove the ball!

HOLY ****, a blkstang06 siting?

Definitely been a rare siting for the last month for sure. I think he has ADD or OLDTIMERS and just forgot about his buddies.
