What did you do with your Z today V (ON TOPIC DISCUSSION ONLY)

dmhenderson · 03-09-2013, 01:35 PM

The FedEx guy just challenged me to a race. I laughed and said I might have his truck beat 0-60. He said he has a '69 V8 mustang with a pneumatic shifter 580hp at the wheels etc. He then told me he has $78k sunk into the car.

He told all of this to me unsolicited while he was dropping off a package. I have no idea.

Yeah that was my thought but I didn't want to insult the guy.

I took a quick 45 minutes or so to perform an engine detail and snapped a coupla shots in the failing afternoon light. Forgive the photo quality.

Went to the grocery store, got gas, went for a follow up exam with my eye doctor, later washed the Z and used Dr. Colorchip on a pinhead sized spot on the front of the hood. I'm quite impressed how well Dr. Colorchip works. I really have to look to find the repaired spot.

I've had some Dr. Colorchip now for several months and have yet to try it out. How easy was the experience?

Shake the color bottle, put on the rubber glove, Put a dot of paint next to the spot to be repaired and wipe the paint over the spot with your glove, let it dry a couple of minutes and use the sealact.
Absolutely the best spot repair I've done. I got a bit of paint on the rubber on the underpart of the hood front. The sealact took it off. Also wash the brush with a spot of sealact to get the paint off of it.

Beautiful day, got the Z out of the garage got some gas, ran some errands, washed the girl and did a spirit run.

Went exploring off Lime Creek. Weather was crappy and so were the other drivers.
One day I'll have a proper camera as well.
