This was done after the post-kids all nighter in VA drive home install and four cups of DD coffee just to make it home weekend... Ice Cream probably would have been a little much...

By "finished this" do you mean clean the garage?  because that what the first thing I noticed....  Last time I saw the garage it looked like a kappa frat house....  Looks good.  The garage and the new bling!

No. the garage is still a kappa frat house.  I just took a photo low enough to not show all the crap stacked up behind the car.

The wheels look nice Joe, too bad our brake rotors weren't plated so that they don't rust on the hub and cooling fins.  Hey maybe a vendor we know could get an idea for a new product that fixes this problem.

When did you put the washer and dryer in the garage?  and won't it work better if you turn it around?

Nice rims by the way

Dee had been bugging me for a while to get a new washer and dryer since she is vertically challenged and couldn't see in the dryer.  Since there's nothing wrong with it, I'll be selling it.

  It was only putting out 150 CCA and rated at 590 CCA Now they have to trickle charge and check .Then they will give me a New one.

 They called me first thing this morning , Charged it for 195 Minutes and only putting out 110CCA. Said Come get your new battery. Now put it back together on Sunday morning and go for a Ride. Thinking about talking to my buddy with the Shelby Put it in his Garage and work on it. Seat Heater install.

Added a 14" shorty antenna from Pep Boys, my first mod, and it works as well as the original, and looks much better. Then a set of aluminum valve caps and chrome license plate frames. Not really much at all compared to many here, but a start.

In the motorcycle world we call it farkling. This is adding functional sparkle to the car.

Oh, and added a new set of wiper blades. It has been raining a lot here.

Jim :cool:
