Default A Few Photos While Cleaning Today....

Got an early start today to avoid some of the heat.....

At least it wasn't raining-like last week.

(It's my parents house-I clean their cars while I'm there.)

Love those wheels. Are those pieces under the hood custom or did you buy them somewhere? I like the gloss black of the plastics.

Thanks Everyone. Let me answer the questions;

#1-Shut up. I know I was parked on the hose. I got to the house at about 6:45-7:00AM. Washed my vette and pulled it into the garage for drying and putting on a coat of sealant. That photo on the hose was taken after everything was done and I was swapping the cars around so I could wash my dads CTS. I KNEW there would be comments about being on the hose. I ALMOST moved the car before taking the photo when I noticed.

#2-Underhood pieces are all painted parts from a forum vendor-RPI designs. The FRCs and radiator shroud are painted replacements and the remainder of the parts are covers. The hydrocarbon caps are from another forum vendor-American hydrocarbon. The under hood pieces get a wipe down every time the car is cleaned.

Thanks Again
