    Progress Thread Clean slate!

    Hey All, I've gotten my '68 coupe back to square one with a whole lot of new metal. She's all cleaned up and sealed up, just about ready to be put back together in slow fashion. Short of what little old paint is left to strip and re-prime, I'm looking towards modernizing the front and rear...

    New Paint Job Has Pinholes/pock Marks/hazing

    Hey Folks, I've just picked up my '06 from the body shop - it was brutally egged and so the insurance company was nice enough to give her a new paint job. This shop is highly recommended by the insurance office (blue ribbon certified - take that however you like) but I'm having some tough...

    Ace It Polish

    Has anybody had any experiences, good/bad/otherwise with Ace It brand polishes? There's a swirl remover, polish, the whole 9 yards out there. One of my buddies swears by it...but being of the old porter cable 3 day buff job project crowd, I'm really skeptical of its longevity and overall...

    Stormproof car cover

    I have a 4-month old micro-fiber car cover that's worn out its welcome...actually, I sprung for a carport, so its no longer needed. Its in good shape other than black markings where it rubbed against the tires, and it could probably stand to be hosed off. Nice snug fit, doubled up plastic...

    supercharger worries

    So there's a new "friend" hanging out with a bunch of my buddies and I. He seems to be really knowledgeable with engines and was telling me how quickly my blower (Saleen Stage 3 kit from Brenspeed) will destroy my otherwise stock engine. I'm not crazy with the car by any means, so how horribly...

    2006 Saleen blown GT & blue smoke

    Fellas, Need some help if ya can. I installed a Saleen blower on my 2006 GT roughly a year ago. It works wonders...no complaints, no issues while running. However, and this is a big however - if I start her up every few days, she starts up perfectly. If I let it sit for 10-14 days, she's...

    wheel size - 18's in front, 20's in rear?

    I've looked high and low for a visual aid on this idea. I'm getting set to get some fat tires for the rear but want to match my 18" bullits on the front. So then I wonder if I should get the 18" deep dish or the 20" deep dish for the rea...I like the idea of it having a more aggressive...

    turbo vs. supercharger

    I've noticed a couple of complete turbo kits being released for our favorite car and I was wondering if you all had an argument for one method over the other. I realize turbos are more efficient from an energy standpoint, but does one place more strain on engine components than the other...
