Looks good and really diggin' the wheels. The sides and rear should help the line flow even better. Keep up the good work

do you think the explosion sides and rear will flow and match well with the greddy front lip?

I haven't seen the explosion kit in person, but I would assume it's a tad bit lower than stock sides and rear. You couls always shave the lip Drop me a PM if you're back in town.

Looking good....especially with the Columbo's. Should have got the guy to mold in the front lip though.
