Clean car is happy car. Also, completed pix of 2-tone interior

Post by Jeff V. »

Today I decided to reinstall my carpet, and put all the trim back in the trunk. Then I spent the rest of the day cleaning and waxing the car. It hasn't looked this good in months. I even cleaned the door jambs, around the trunk, and sun roof frame.

The difference between the visors and new headliner fabric isn't as drastic under normal lighting.

I've got a couple other pics I took of mine and Jeremy's cars, but I want to see if I can get them color corrected first.
I think about all the things we could have done, all the miracles we could have achieved, if we were all just a little bit better than it turns out we are.

Not sure about the two tone. (can't please everyone) And while I don't normally like Stealths or hoops, you've managed to compine the two and raise my brow. Interesting looking car Jeff. ;)

I think R/T's and hoops are the ONLY way to go.

I tend to like the horizontal bar grill I've seen people put in the front of that 2G Stealth bumper (& not dodge "crosshairs" seen), besides that your car looks IDEAL to me.

Vira got them for me :) I think they're from Ultimate Performance.

They're very nice looking. The only minor complaints I have are that the passenger side one doesn't fit perfect. It bows up in the middle. I may try to oblong the holes a little to get it to sit right. The other little complaint is it took me a while to clean off the glue from the protective film they put on them for shipping. A little Goo-gone and some paper towel fixed that right up though.

They are MIRRORED. Be careful of the glare if you're out working in the sun with the doors open.

On my mod list for next year is to put a sheet of indiglo under the lettering. You can see right through it to the original plastic sill right now.
I think R/T's and hoops are the ONLY way to go.
I like how the curve of the c-pillar seems to flow right into the upward slope of the wing. It's very graceful.

Thanks for all the kind words guys. It's times like this I really think I should keep this thing :heehee:

I've never been a fan of the grille people put on the fronts. It looks like a wannabe FMIC and overall just seems rather richerish.

Car looks amazing though Jeff, shiny as hell. I wish my 240 would shine like that! Interesting interior too, I actually kind of dig that two tone look.

I cant wait to die my interior. I should have been doing it while I was waiting for the engine to be done but it was so hot outside.

I'm not sure if I like the two tone or not, it's not that I don't like it, it's that I can't decide. Either way it's probably one of the cleanest, shiniest interior's I've seen.

I've got a set of SRT4 seats for it. They're out of the car until I can build lower brackets for them.
I cant wait to die my interior. I should have been doing it while I was waiting for the engine to be done but it was so hot outside.
When you think your panels are clean, do them again ;) They can't be too clean prior to the dying. I used simple green, and then regular soap and water to wash off the simple green residue. It came out great.
Either way it's probably one of the cleanest, shiniest interior's I've seen.
I hope you don't mean shiny in a bad way. I experimented with a couple different blacks until I found one that was very low gloss. I wanted to avoid the shine.

The whole interior has a nice matte look to it in normal light.

Not in a bad way at all. It's not the cheesy gallon of armor-all look, just a clean shine.
