Been pretty hectic here. With fall showing up we are going nutz doing what we call "Winter Waxes" before the snow flies. These are basically an interior clean, windows, door edges, trunk and then a layer of #105 or #845.

We can do these in about 2 hours but we still just do one a day.

The other thing that has been keeping me busy ... well my daughter bought another car and right now its sitting in front of my place and I am doing a little polishing on it between details and projects on it. Paint is what I would call a 10 foot car ... looks good from 10 feet away. Its a project and will be painted next year.

So far the son-in-law and I have ;
1) Swapped out the rear springs and added Hotchkiss swaybars on both ends.
2) New brake lines throughout plus converted it from manual to power brakes.
3) Changed it from drum to 4 wheel disks.
4) Tubular upper & lower "A" arms and coilovers in the front.
5) Converted it from manual to power steering.
6) New aluminum rectangular port heads heads and intake & carb.
7) New custom exhaust from headers back with Magnaflows.
8) Roller cam & rockers.



Been a struggle but fun..

BTW thats a 427 60 over & a 4 speed. There is 18 x 8 for the front wheels and 18 x 9.5 for the back sitting in my basement , they will go on in a couple days.

 

OH DANG YOU DALE!

Oh, my Trump card.............Can you elaborate on what your Winters are like?
Just booked a new Audi S8, and a Honda Minivan for next week........looking for highs in the mid 70's (Too hot for me actually)

 

We had frost this morning when I picked up the car to detail .. was 37 F when I washed it .. got up to 59F for a high.
