I prefer Adam's over Meguiars. Plus, he's local. Order online or swing by their offices in Broomfield.
Doing the whole thing like that is a process but the results are worth it. She looks purty.
What have you done to your rig today?

Started installing the SwitchPros but as I was wrestling with getting the connector through the firewall grommet, thunder, lightning, rain. So, the switches are in and I'll finish the rest tomorrow afternoon.

A little nip and tuck to get a light bar into the hood scoop. It's now a useful scoop. A little tentative at first but then I just started cutting.
Fits in there really well.

Thanks. Working out a few bugs with the SwitchPros unit at the moment but, wow, that thing throws a lot of light. Hope you and the family have been well.

Every time I see one of these things I remember how hard it was to push bushings out of my old ponitac's control arms and I shudder.
Nice work.

whoa cool nice work on the license plate bracket! How did you cut it out?
Over the last couple of weeks I drained and replaced the fan clutch fluid in the 80, and then I replaced the A/C compressor, expansion valve, and A/C dryer. Cleaned the evaporator coils (still had mouse nest parts from 2006-2007 
) and cleaned with BG Frigi-Clean. Vent temps dropped another 10-15 degrees from where they had been (previously couldn't go below 60 degrees). Still not quite to the green zone on the vent thermometer, but I think good enough. Only other thing I can think to do is put higher viscosity fluid in the fan clutch to pull more air through the condenser - it's behind the intercooler so it shouldn't be damaged but it's also getting preheated air.

Looks like hillbilly dirty jigsaw booty fab (excellently executed if you ask me). It came out looking really nice Mike!
