This is an F150, but same exact method for your car:

Right... but that was before 2 kids, etc.... plus, anything to do with toxic/nauseous stuff, I think I might pass. LOL.

So where do I get this friction modifier? Does Amsoil have it too? All I got was the 75W140 gear oil.

I take it out once a day for about a 20 mile loop down the expressway and back.

Found out that putting it in Sport mode really makes a difference, the rpms which are normally at about 700 are tripled to around 2100, makes for a more well...sporty ride.

The car sits at a ready in the garage, when the zombie apocalypse hits I will have a slick ride to get me to safety.

Our Mustangs will be useless in a zombie apocalypse....unless it's this one:

Plated it... thereby ensuring nothing but months and months of torrential rainfall

I bought some 8.5 x 11 masking paper. Expanded a decal out as long as it would go. Used an exacto knife to cut the letters. Very very carefully set in place. I used a metallic tint. Took 50 or 60 coats for each color. I got a good match for shade on the individual cover, but one is a little darker than the other. Still very pleased with how they turned out.


The one with the raised boss under the letter was tricky. Paper did not want to lay right. I actually kept a finger tip pressed on the valley while I sprayed.

Sitting here waiting for the shop to do all my fluids. Yes, I succumbed to laziness because I just don't have the time . I brought them all of my Amsoil fluids though. It's funny though how when I pull in and everyone just gets drawn in and hovers, and their mouths drop when they realize she's almost 5 years old. One guy even offered to buy it outright from me. Hilarious. They all said the paint is just immaculate. Thanks. That's how ALL paint should be.

But they're all nice guys though. We chatted some and talked mods. One guy asked me if I could "kick a Shelby's a$$". I politely responded and stated that would be like asking if a skinny geeky nerdy guy who's on major steroids could kick Lou Ferrigno's a$$ back in his heyday. That's all my car is, a geek on steroids. Lol

Also had a recall on the driver air bag sensor that they're taking care of.

On top of that, check out the new 17x20 poster I got from my buddies here. Made my visit worthwhile.

I framed it... And temporarily placed it above the family fireplace much to the anger of my wife LOL. I told her I'm going to move it to the garage to add to Marilyn's decor, but not till I clean the garage for spring hehe

Girlfriend's supercharger finally re-installed, now fully re-painted Vista Blue, along with the coil covers.
The blower also had the "5.8" shaved off of the top of the case - the blower is a '13-'14 TVS unit.

Thanks guys, the car is filthy, been sitting in the garage for a couple of months due to winter and waiting for this project to be completed, but the girlfriend is beyond psyched with how it came out, and that's what matters

We're planning a bit more color under there soon, but probably not before the World of Wheels show that the cars are entered into, which we have to have the cars to by March 30th.

And as psyched as she is that the car is finally drivable again, we now have 3" of snow on the ground and it's still snowing, so it's not going anywhere soon

That came out really good Gabe!
I'm digging it. Going to look really good once you get the other parts done as well.
