Ewwww rust!!!!!


I like that air cleaner!!!!


Good luck with the detailing mang

[trwp72]

Those air cleaners are popular.... We had a HUGE Mustang and Ford show a couple of weeks ago.. (IF my car had been detailed unter the hood... I would have entered it...) Anyway, some guy in the parts corral had two... one the top was smashed... looked like it was run over in the junk yard... Wanted $75.00 for it!!! The other one didn't even have the top.... but in better shape... $150.00!!!! I told him he was smokin crack.... Also a guy had the blue silicone hoses that would have fit my car... I offered him 25.00 for both upper and lower radiator hoses... he said he was thinking more like 25.00 a piece.. I told him to keep thinking!!!! When I left at the end of the day, on the last day... they were still sitting in the same box of junk.... He tried to tell me that the set was over $100.00 new... I told him:
1. These aren't new
2. These are missing the heater hoses, and bypass hose
3. I can get a NEW set for about $95.00 NOT over a $100.00

IT IS FRICKEN RAINING!!!!!!

Never fails!!! And of course, tommorow, when I'm at work... it will be nice out!!!! I went out and opened the hood TWICE, and it started to rain....

I'm going to go throw up now.....

Well, one thing good about the rain... I was able to see if all the windows were sealing up now... replaced all the window felts, and ran the wire for the lightbar in and siliconed around it to keep it from leaking... No leaks after the heavy rain we just had!!!!

I get that rain thing to, want to get something done, it could be cloudless, go outside, and it suddenly starts raining. :nonono:
