Hey Patches... Great job with the new ride (although your wife deserves the credit!). I look forward to seeing it in person someday.

Easy peasy: Simple Green, a brass-bristled brush, metal polish and a big ol' dollop of elbow grease... applied liberally to Patches' elbows.

Come on, make that three car into a four car garage. Good idea to get Mrs. Patches to do her own wrenching. I just taught mine how to clay and machine polish her own Trailblazer. That'll free up some of my weekends.

Very tasteful mods Mrs. Patches.

You are lucky, the guy we all PM about our mods is right with you. How can you go wrong?


On the side note Ed, things will never be the same now

A kind thank you to you Mrs. Patches. My Ti's are off and I will give it a try. I will let you know how it turns out.

Great pictures and I can definitely appreciate a lady who does her own work on a car.

Enjoy the mods!
