Really??? You blacked out your Highbeam bowls...with flat paint? You do realize that you won't be able to see sh1t at night, right?

Gave her a bath.

Peeled off the fake shadowline to better show off ze Hoffmiester kink.

Ordered up a new passenger side mirror to replace mine that fell off all by itself. Oh, not all by itself, it had help from the PO and the body of the mirror was held together with friggin' black silicone!

And I'm getting to the point I need to update my sig. Of course now that she's clean and looking great, the wife will be taking her for all day tomorrow. :bawling:

Charlie,

The finish on Imola is amazing!

But, you're so close to that aircraft carrier, couldn't you just offer them $5 and have them lift your car on the deck for the greatest fanatic photo of all time? :lmao:

How'd you remove the painted pinstripe? Besides 'very carefully'? Some paint deglosser? Straight xylene or something? Or is this a secret?

Anyway, beautiful cleaning work! (Did you remove the dust from the inside of the trunk hinges, though? :lmao: That's one of my favorite spots!)

Fixed my regulator for the last time. i actually bought the new clips. Put them in and laid the zipties to rest. I have to do the fabric on my 2 front pillars next week. then a week after that. im getting a shark injector, i hope it fixes the lag and makes the car feel more perky. I dunno?

They told me that they would do it for free just to get an epic pic...:shhh:

I used Meguiar's Professional Ultra-Cut Compound #105 to get the painted on pinstripe out. Took lots of patience and time but in the end it looks good :) As for removing dust...I keep something there just for keepsakes from our meeting...:lmao:
