    That's been my experience. I'm more happy with how it coats when doing recoat or touch up. No streaks, no spots, it just lays down nice and smooth. It is also a fairly decent match to the original black plastic in our cars.

    It's not difficult to do. Interior comes out easily, just need black carpet, seats, headliner and seat belts.

    I used Duplicolor fabric and vinyl dye. I also used their adhesion promotor before it. When I did everything I scuffed it up with scotch pads, then adhesion promotor, followed by a bunch of color coats. It does chip over time, but is beyond simple to just recoat.

    I actually had the tailpipes, sold them to a friend and bought them back. The entire interior short of headliner, carpet and seats is red stuff dyed black. Door panels were red, now black. The black dye is very nice stuff. When you respray a piece, it coats so evenly there are no lines, stripes...

    Suspension Will Lowering Springs Always Require Caster Camber Plates?

    I didn't do caster/cambers or shocks/struts with my lowering springs. I regret not doing it! They may not be "required" for the parts to go in, but in my opinion you should do then when you are doing springs.

    Wheels are 18x9 with 255/35/18/a out front and 18x10 with 285/35/18s out back. Interesting about the smell when it heats up. I will have to keep that in mind if I'm getting close to hot things with it.

    It's always been black since the paint was done. It's just the red stuff dyed black, black carpet and the seats.

    As she sits now. Got the lower dash trim back in, which has not been in the car for 6+ years. Also started to mock up the tailpipes.

    My cover is rolled up in the roof, and yes... That's a beer bottle helping mock up the tailpipe!

    Winter Driving

    Mustang5L5 I've been doing it with a FWD car for years now with not getting stuck. Driven past plenty of stuck cars but knock on wood, haven't been stuck myself. Truck is traction control off as soon as snow starts, and momentum!

    It hasn't been too bad yet. Use an hour here and there and I get enough done to feel good.

    I will try and snap a couple of photos tomorrow but made some headway the past few nights. Carpet is in. Center console is in. Drivers 1/4 panel has padding on the back and in place, just need to get the correct screws to hold it all in. Headliner got padding underneath and installed. Driver...

    Fox The Great Engine Bay Detailing Debate

    I had a coworker hose off my engine one day many years back. The car barely ran on the drive home. Had water under the distributor cap. Not the end of the world, but made me more cautious when doing engine bays. On my daily driver I use an all purpose cleaner (meguiars) diluted down usually 5:1...

    Fox Dynomax Ultra Flo Catback Exhaust #17393 Or #19483?

    What about super turbos? Slightly louder than stock but not much. Don't removed back when my dad had them on a 5.0, but I don't think it droned.

    Thanks Josh, I think I saw that as also. Never seen that car out in person though. Yes being a dad is awesome! As much as I love the car, a lot of what I'm doing is so when he is old enough, I can take him and his friends out to car shows and such. It's some of the best memories I have with my...

    Good to hear Bland. 95Blue, I run long tubes, off road X and Spintech mufflers. It's fairly loud dumped. I have some videos with tailpipes and it sounded good so I'm hoping it makes the grade.

    Thanks guys and yes I would love to open the check book and buy the best of the best, but I'm too cheap and like to give things a shot. It seems like what I'm doing will work how I want. The padding I got came from a flooring store. $0.85/SF. The peel and seal is under $17/roll. In the end I...

    95Blue, I'm almost thinking all this work will have me missing the noise inside! I sure hope not!

    The hatch area will get the peel and seal as well. I'm adding it to the back side of all the inner plastic pieces as well. Honestly for the past 7 years I've driven with no back seat, and just some carpet tossed over the trunk/hatch area. The new plan is to put a back seat back in, peel and...

    I'm progressing slowly but did want to take a minute to explain what I'm doing. I've been told by some to only use the right automotive sound deadeners. I understand the reasoning, it's the right product deigned to do what I'm asking. However, unlike in my younger years, I simply have too many...
