Mustang Enthusiast shot my car a while back, and the feature has finally at least hit their online version of the magazine. In the meantime they combined their brand-specific titles into one named Auto Enthusiast.

The full print version is still forthcoming, but the online version of the whole mag can be read here: http://editions.amospublishing.com/AEW/default.aspx?d=20120203

Here is my article:

Thanks SB. I keep going and going. I have a lazy winter mods thread going on currently, but I've not touched the car in a month because of everything else taking up my time. Some nice new showy modifications are either in place or on the way though, it keeps me interested

Congrats Dave. Looking great as always. When do we get to see your new center console installed? I'm looking forward to seeing that!

Thanks man. I've been unable to touch the car for about a month, things have been pulling me in all directions. I'm going to wait until I get the interior otherwise put together and it runs well before I put that console back in. I don't want to be moving around inside and scratch it. Got to be careful now.

Aren't those the same pics from one of your last magazine shoots in another publication?

No, they wouldn't have done that. The driving shots were done in the same way at the same angle, though.

How tough is it to maintain all the chrome in the engine bay?

Not hard at all, but I don't drive it too much & do wipe it down if I get caught in the rain.

You don't have to keep applying polish then? How well does the finish hold up versus OEM style surfaces? I mean: How much more maintenance does it require beyond an annual underhood wash and wipe-down when it gets wet?

Dirt might harm it after a while if left to sit and etch onto it long enough. I still show it a few times per year and just wipe it down then. Just a light layer of dust from sitting/driving, it doesn't get dirtier than that. Or if I'm driving and get caught in the rain, I'll wipe it down afterward at some point. Still it's barely dirty overall, but since it's to the point where you can see (exaggerating) every little speck, I "have to" clean it.

Hehe... Somewhere in-between what you've got mixed with some 'utility' type surfaces, is what I'm imagining for solid lifter N/A power plant.
