I have no doubt that you're going to win a lot of trophies at the shows Gabe, as like I said, those covers truly give your engine bay a one off and unique appearance

Very nice. Awesome location!

 

That's one of the BEST photoshoots I've seen on this site! Watch out, Burton, you've got some competition here!!! haha

The car looks great. What camera did you use too? Love that resolution!

 

He had a smarty cam running under the rear view mirror. Hasn't uploaded it yet. For us, this kind of thing along with track days are why we have our cars. There are half a dozen of us that run around Texas and sometimes other places going to races and track days. We are all going to try to make sand hills next year. We've been told by everyone who's driven both BBORR and the silver state challenge that the Nevada race is incredibly boring after BBORR. Very few turns, not a lot to do but watch the gauges and hope the heat doesn't kill the car before it finishes. The stretch of hwy 285 that we run has about 20 miles of seriously tight, blind turns that absolutely keep you on your toes the whole time. In anything but the rookie classes, a navigator is almost essential if you don't want to end up missing a turn. Either that or you know the course like the back of your hand which some do. I expect BBORR to be an every-year thing for me at least. It's a blast.

 

Beautiful man... just beautiful. I like the tasteful mods too. Essentially the wheels make it pop. I haven't seen stock fog lights in a long time. Fits the car well.

Agree.

LOL... I know right? Between Nathan and Steevesj, I'm a peon. I bow down.

 

Thank you! My son was using my Canon 6D with a Sigma 35mm F1.4 lens and I was using a little Panasonic LX100 I just picked up. The little Panasonic did pretty well but I think the Canon still has it beat. As it was getting darker the LX100 photos got a little noisey though. The funny part of the shoot is when I try to start the car to leave the battery was dead and I had a woman in a Prius jump me who actually had jumper cables with her. I forgot how much energy those HID headlights pull.

Thanks Burton! I could never pull off a "in the sun" shot like you can. I am sure you know why with my 6 year old black car.

Nathan, nice pics, it looks awesome!

 

Man, if you gave me a few hours with any black paint - I'd make that thing look better than it came from the factory assembly line

 

Thanks!
Do mine while you're at it. Haven't had time to detail mine yet this year.

Hey, you're definitely one of the best on this site!

I'll second that!

 

Funny you say that, I said to myself that the coolant reservoirs would look good as well. AWESOME!

Looking good Jon!

 

So, what do ya do when the weather sucks but you want to gussy up your Mustang? Do it water less in the garage. Bought a water less product recently from these guys:

http://www.croftgatejersey.com/

This is the second time I've used it and I'm diggin' the stuff. No petroleum ingredients, little to no VOC's, no streaks or smudging, and as far as I can tell no surface scratches. I'm still experimenting and after the wash I applied a coat of Turtle Wax liquid for black cars. Shortly after I got done a package arrived from Croftgate which included a bottle of Quick-n-Slick. It's advertised as a protectant and supposedly has some dust repellent properties so what the h*ll...I applied Q & S over the fresh wax as a sealer. Keeping my fingers X'd that the finish I achieved lasts. Really happy with the way it looks. I might have to order a few more products and integrate them into my detailing routine.

 

I need a neighbor like you Tom lol...looks absolutely gleamingly amazingly shiny

 

Thanks Darren. I'm really getting into this Croftgate system. I want to try their paint correction products and some other things. So far the water less product seems pretty exceptional. I wouldn't use it on a dirty finish, but I never let my car get to that point. Usually I just get road dust, garage goobers, and pollen.

I always say I have a love/hate relationship with black, but when I get results like today, the hate part is out of the equation. I'm **** pleased with the results.

 

Looks killer Tom!
So glossy, shiny and deep. Nice.

 

Thanks Tony. I keep going into the garage to look at it. It's giving me a boner!!!

 

 

Went for a little drive tonight.

 

Sick!! Your car is so sinister!!
