Default So much for hard labor....

Last Friday PM and Saturday I spent several hours cleaning, stripping old wax, clay barred, washed again and re-waxed her, with plans to go to a show this weekend. Spent the evenings this week cleaning and detailing the engine bay.

So much for hard labor, thanks to the weather, looks like she'll stay in the garage until we get a weekend without rain. Maybe next weekend...

Hi 69m,
Well your hard work looks great in your pictures.
So I'd say you'll get some 'car show' oohs and ahs right here!
Regards,
Alan

yeah I have said and done the same thing the lasat couple of weekends. It seems like we are in that "rain every weekend" rut round here.

Maybe I'll see ya at a show soon. Vengeance, buy a vette, have open houses this weekend and there is a show at the congress center too. <sigh>

There's nothing you can do about the weather but you can sure be proud of how great your car looks.
Don't worry history has shown eventually it will stop raining.

Simply beautiful, If it rains you can grab your stool and a cooler full of beer and just spend some quiet time in the garage. Ask me how I know.

Yup, seems like that pattern is set in, but it will end eventually and then it will be show time .

Thanks for all the great comments . This weather cycle will eventually break, until then I'll just carve out time to work on all those little things I've been putting off....

Beer cooler in the garage sounds like a great idea .
