Thanks guys, I've been working on the T for about 4 years off and on, it's been quite a learning experience and a lot of fun. Still not finished but it's something to tinker with when I get tired of waxing red paint!

When I got it home from Seattle, (300 or so miles) I squirted it off and just used Mcquires(sp?) detail spray. I plan to really work it over when it warms up some with either Adams or Zanio. There seems to be a pretty even division on those two and I really don't know which to use. Any more help on the subject would be appreciated but I've read an aweful lot of this board so I know how most of you feel. Guess the best course of action is try em both but that could get kind of spendy. Help me out guys.

Thanks,
Pat

I used to be a diehard Zaino user. I wouldn't touch anything else. That said, a group of us thinks they "watered down" their original formula because it's not quite the same the past year or so.. I'm using up my old supply of Zaino, but am switching to Adams

Will you Adams users use the powered buffer as well? I'm use to putting on by hand and taking off the same way. Is the porter cable hard to get use to? The video makes it look fairly goof proof. Thanks again for the help.

Looks like we have something in common. My T-Bucket shares my garage with my Torch red 2004 Z06 too.

Well, that's pretty cool. Did you build yours too? It's a fun little car but a lot scarier than the Vette.

Yep. I have had mine on the road 26 years. I have had many other cars during that time, but the old T will never be sold. Us Bucketeers need to stick together. In fact, my Florida vanity plate on it is "T-BUCKET".

By the way, PLW, is yours a Total Performance car? The front suspension and space between the front cross member and radiator look like a Total.

Is indeed. I'd love to see more pictures of yours, maybe an e-mail? Being a new guy I feel kind of funny talking about buckets on a ZO6 board. Don't want to get kicked off this soon!

You T-bucket street rodders are okay here. A chopped '37 Chevy coupe shares the garage with my Z. I have had my car 26 years since first acquiring it. Next project will be a '27 track roadster.

Well then, who's up for a thread showing off the hot rods that share the garage with the Vettes? Could be entertaining.
