                  I do not think you need to roll the fenders with those tires. That is why everybody is running them....they are same as stock size.

                  I forgive you John....I use the Poore thing all the time...I was even going to get plates that read.... BPOORE. I am definately living up to my name too.

                    update

                    finally, a little more progress on Snot... more like penance.

                    I had the brilliant idea that I could wedge a group 51 (Del Sol) battery into the area where the stock air box was, since the B6T pretty much demands the airbox be relocated to the driver's side. I did a bunch of measuring, even made a foam mock-up of the battery, and hacked a hole in the right front inner fender. I then made a nice sheetmetal box that extended into the vacant area between the inner and outer fenders. Just before I welded it in, I remembered to check for interference with the wheel... DOH!!!!! The box sat WAY too close to the tire!!! It would be straight ahead, but turning would have been a problem.

                    Well, I finally got around to fixing my blunder. It was just too dang cold over the winter to worry about it, and I just had some time to get to a bone yard to snatch a patch panel.

                    Here's a "before" and "after" pic;

                            yep. Was trying to avoid it, but it's inevitable.

                              3/4 gallon. I guess they packaged it that way because the hardener to paint ratio is 3:1, and the hardener comes in quarts.
