Hmmmm...How to make a comment here w/o coming off as a self serving prick
Ive said it many times here..The cleanliness, and eye for detail on Jeff’s car is without equal. If a vote was taken between the two cars, and even given enough time for me to address the little things I let slip by, I still think he would win.
the difference here is because he has the patience that i don’t have...i.e.......He gets new sht, makes it fit, then sends it off to get polished or powder coated. Me, on the other hand, usually get new sht, make it fit, then paint it. then touch it before it’s dry, and leave a fingerprint. Or, I sand and repaint that, then because it was enamel, the feathered edges are now exposed, and i get a paint reaction, the paint wrinkles, and I say fck it, and install it anyway.
Heres where i get a bug in my ass at car shows..
For those that know what a Fairmont looks like, and still have to wonder what car this is, thinking it might be Australian or some brand other than a Ford, and not take into consideration what it took to make it this way..
For those that have no clue as to the thousand or so man hours in the bumpers/hood/ tail lights, and interior and think that it all somehow “ came that way” from the factory.
When you open the hood and it’s not: A SBF, A BBF, A mod motor, A Coyote, or even an LS,...but there it is,...Some Jap engine in a Domestic, backed by a manually shifted GM trans, with some really weird home made looking sht hanging under the rear end, running off of kit built ecu...( That a lot of onlookers just stream by,..as dim as a 15 watt bulb)
And even when most of all of that is not given one minute of thought,...This car for the most part driven on average 200 miles monthly now going on over 2000 miles in the last 12 months even with Covid raging..it somehow looks like it coulda came that way from the factory.
All the while still fairly clean, as evidenced by my last undercarriage pic.
OK..made my case now,...i’ll just stand over here for a minute.
