    The engine bay is cleaned and ready for show season. Here are a few pics of it all cleaned up and ready to go.









    Now to get the Body done this weekend!





    All finished up! Washed, buffed, waxed and ready for some cruising or shows this summer.














    Not the best pictures. Tried the new plasti dip spray in flat black on the hood and front air-dam Grilles. Came out a lot better than the pics show. For under $20 was well worth the money. Will get better pics at a later date.

    Thanks again everyone! I keep it pretty clean. I used to wash it every time with soup and water. Now that it's used for weekends here and there. I use Lucas wax & dry to get it wet. Then wipe it all down. Once I am done with that I take wax to the painted parts. Then I go on to the polished parts and polish them by hand and once done I put a liquid sealant on. Then finish it off with some type of tire shine or Finish 2001 on the plastic parts and rubber hoses. This was a quick way of saying what I do and hope that helps out.

    Like that wet look a lot.
    When you get bored you can remove the keyhole dealy on the trunk lid.

    Wow! Very nice.
    Where did you source the strut tower brace? That's the nicest looking one I've seen.

    Thank you everyone. I have a lot of money in the blue pearl on the paint of the car that I just never really thought about it. Maybe one of these days with the trunk lid. The strut tower brace I bought like 10 years ago on ebay. I won an auction that I paid very little for it. Thank again everyone, means a lot!
