+1 on the stock rims.. Like the touch of japan on the valve. Drag car: Is that the battery behind the seat, if so make sure to buy the sealed box, lets of some strong fumes.

no problem. Safty first.
Batteries emit hydrogen gas as part of their electrolytic process. Recall the Hindenburg and that hydrogen is an extremely combustible gas, avoid that. Without a proper, sealed battery box, relocating the battery inside the car can be a hazardous modification. Luckily, typical batteries that enthusiasts opt for are sealed units, meaning acid and gas can't escape- HTM

that black/white scheme is really good. I didn't think our cars would look good with a 2-color paint scheme, but you proved me wrong!

Beautiful cars!
