I still have to talk to them about color, but thinking about candy cooper with carbonfiber hood with lines on hood cooper. And also recieved sponsorship paint from dupli-color this week. The rims and rest of silver will be done in gun metal. Also talked to borla this week should be getting catback. They told me I will here from them in few weeks.

Was also thinking about grabber blue with stripes

Spent a little more time cleaning up the oxidation on the engine. Here's the before and after for comparrison. I also finished the HID's and drove it to the driving range.

Funny that this post came back. I drove to Ft. Myers last night for my mothers 82 Birthday. I took my buffer and .......yes I lightly buffed her out,,,,,,sweet looking when she is clean and has a fresh coat of wax on her. After 60k though and as much as I clean and wax her, she is showing her daily driving age. Kinda like me I guess.




and yes I did moms silver Imala. She was happy.....

Thats no way to treat an 82 year old lady, thankfully you did not use a clay bar.

Dave, that depends. You would have to ask the 82 year old lady. Don't you agree?

I could have pointed out that I live with a 52 year old lady that enjoys nothing better than a good "light buffing".

But I won't go there...

I think you've been there a lot of times by the smile that's always on your face.

Had my Ansa installed and put on MGP caliper cover. Covers look great and Ansa sounds nice.

Well, I'm too cheap to pay $300 for a used one, so I decided to build my own gauge pod for under $100. I'm 60% done with the pod and I'll probably complete it tomorrow.

Here are some photos of the progression over the last 6 hours.
