Detailed the front wheel wells.

04sleeper · Dec 28, 2008

OK. Since the rear was done, it was time to move onto the front.

Pulled the front wheels off and this is what it looked like.

Drivers Side:

Passenger Side:

Here was the back of the drivers side wheel before cleaning:

And after polishing with Adams 1 & 2.:

I polished up the front side of the wheel with Adams Polish as well.

Here is after cleaning the drivers side wheel well with Simple Green and spraying/wiping it down with Meguires Tire Foam.

And finally with the wheel back on.

Here is the passenger side wheel well cleaned up with Simple Green and spraying/wiping it down with Meguires Tire Foam.

While I was in the cleaning mood, I decided to clean up the bottom sides of the rocker panels.

Here was the passenger side before cleaning: :xpl: (Which is my proof for driving the car. LOL..)

Then here it is after cleaning sith Simple Green and Meguires Clay Bar:

And the drivers side after being cleaned up as well:

After all that was done I finally bolted the passenger side wheel on.

Again I was very pleased with the results.

Next up: Full Interior Detail Followed by a Complete Exterior Detail.

Stay Tuned: opcorn:

I could never spend that much time cleaning. my car is neglected bigtime I guess. the most mine gets is a hose down here and there

Thanks Kevin, that meens alot considering it was you and your car that caused me to spend my life savings on mine I love my car to death and wouldnt trade it for anything short of a DB9S
I love getting compliments on my car but they just seem different when it comes from someone that has such a pristine example of the same car

BTW, I still see some dirt on the back fins on the front brakes

Funny, I hear that often. But what's really funny is the people that usually say that don't have a problem sitting and watching TV for hours a day. (Not meaning you but people I know personally.) LOL.....

Man Kevin,the cleanliness of your car always makes me want to step my game up... It looked clean to me in the before pics, but now it is better than new. Im gonna give mine the same type of treatment soon. My undercarriage is filthy....

On a side note, I am thinking about getting some better wheels for the Mach sometime in 09. I want some type of multi piece Forged wheels like yours. Since its cheaper to make my Notch fast than it is the Mach, I will most likely cruise & show the Mach instead until i can afford a built motor & a twin screw for it. I think some nice wheels that arent typical like FR's are now, would definitely send the look over the top IMO. Im tired of FR500's!!!

Thanks Dustin.

I think a set of Forged Wheels would be SICK on your car!!!! I still feel True Forged Wheels are the way to go for Forged wheels. (If you can find a style that you like). They are all made at the same factory, Iforged, Boze Forged, ZE Forged, etc... so the only difference is the center cap and price!

Shoot me a PM when you are thinking about wheels and I will help you out with the ins and outs of them. I know Steve pretty well.

For the built motor I would go with a Tousley Ford long block for $3700 and never look back. It is just as strong as any built block and there is no waiting.

FYI: That's what Buster is running in his 1004 RWHP Sonic Blue 03 that run's 8's.

I was pretty much thinking True Forged was they way I will go when the time comes because the price seems to be right & the quality & design looks to be top notch.... I really like yours, & I love the Mach 5's too, but im not too sure what I want to get for my car. They have to go with the Mach theme....

As far as the long block goes, I want to stick with the aluminum block because I dont want the added weight of the iron Cobra block. Does that company offer the aluminum Teksid block?

If your going to go aluminum then I would go with the Aluminator block instead. It's even stronger than the Teksid block.

I would contact Steve @ Tousley as well on this. There were several that had some issues right at first with crank end play, but I think they have resolved that now.
