Finally, I washed and waxed my car and polished my rims. Just needed to show off a little.

Drool, drool...

Nice! what did you use to polish the wheels? I also have American Torque Thrusts. I thought they were enamel coated, Until they started to look dull. I wasn't sure what to use on 'em.
 
Thanks for the complements, guys!

eric n - I used three taillight buckets per side. Mustangs and Fords ran a tech article on the T-bird tail lights in the October 1998 issue. I'll shoot some pictures of the lights from inside the trunk.

golf4283 - The wheels are 15" American Racing Torq-Thrust wheels. I painted the spokes black and polished the rims.

cardude - I did use the clay bar on a few spots that did not come clean after I washed the car. I used the Meguiar's Gold Class Clear Coat Car Wax.

Tim65GT - My wheels were so pitted and covered in break dust, that I actually had to sand them down. I put the car up on jack stands and started it in 3rd gear. Then just used sanding sponges (stepping down the coarseness) to polish out the aluminium.

Lookin good Tim. I never realized how many exterior touches we had in common until I got mine painted. (Shaved antenna, Shelby hood w/ no Ford lettering, no bumper guards, GT exhaust with no backup lights, deleted rocker trim molding and grill pony) :nice:

All of those small details in common, and they still manage to be so different looking.
