Default spent over 6 hours cleaning the mustang yesterday *pics*

It got washed, waxed, and buffed with all Adams Products. I absolutely LOVE the buttery wax, it worked wonders. Swing over to HP Performance and pick some up ASAP.

Looks great. You picked up a real nice ride. The paint quality seems perfect for an older car. Sweet.

Thanks. The paint is far from perfect though. I still can't believe how well it shined up with some wax, a buffer, and some elbow grease.

I was talking about the Saturn Stories....Then again Im guessing the Saturn Forum isnt going to be too interested in what I do with my Vette.

Yea Greg I was thinking the houses by PHS too. Must be the same builder.

Thought this car looked familiar.

Nice work. Did you get it swirl free? Kinda hard to tell from the pics.

nope, I bought it to tear apart and re-build. (eventually)

coupes are getting harder and harder to find, and more expensive. I've always wanted one, so I bought it.

future plans will be an R-blocked 331 stroker with a single turbo. The car will also be sub 3,000lbs, too.

I'm also going to try and do all the body work on the car myself. The engine build and tuning will be done by professionals, but I'd like to do everything else.

Hmm, when I log onto the forum, I have the option of checking out the threads I'm interested in, and staying out of the ones I'm not. They must not have that in Michigan.

I'm not by the highschool, I'm close to the police station. I got the majority of the swirls out, but like I've said before, the paint on the car is FAR from perfect. Its definitely a 10 footer.

Cool! Maybe see it around some time, I like custom work!
