Default it was about time

to remove all 4 rims, polish the rotor hats, clean the inner fender to spotless condition, clean all the aluminum a-arms to a shine and then spray the inner fenders with ADAMS detail spray for plastic ( not on teh brakes , of course)....wow,,,,it looks new under there ...

now, I go under to poish the polished alum cover I installed ont eh floor boards and polish up the exhaust and other thingys,,,,its going to bling under there once again. I have already re-painted all with chassis black ( just to spruce it up a wee bit) ......while I am down there I am going to see if I can view the couplers with a bore scope. ....hopefully I can peep em.

I have to boast,, this 98 looks better than ew underneath,,I lke to keep my toys in top shape..

bad news,, I started the yamaha 4 wheeler and it wont run for crap...carb problems from setting .....looks like a rebuild of a carb is in the plans

You can relate to that post, huh David!

If you added up all the hours you've spent cleaning your car, how many do you think you'd have?

More than a couple, I'm sure!

Lots of work you did, but I'm sure it was all worth the effort in the clean look to the car.
