What did you do to your car today?

Got my dash painted and cleared. Only took 2 times to get it right on the clear. I bought matt clear for it as I did not want the high gloss, well it dried with the look of a chalk board. So got to buy more clear, satin this time, and reclear it. Was so excited the second time forgot to snap a completed pic. But will tomorrow.

I drove the Mach1 to the Capitol in DC with the Cobra club on the annual Frostbite cruise.

Picked my painted dash up. Started disassembling my heater box, cleaning, painting etc. Bought new fan motor old one worked but sounded like it was on its last leg.

Thanks, Just hard to stumble through all this. I can take anything apart clean paint and reassemble the part but remembering how the whole project came apart when its been three years now is a pita:s:s:huh::huh:

Wow that is amazing, painting the dash took you long enough to grow a beard and age several years

Paint fumes can do weird things according to the labels on the can.::blah::

Yesterday, my brake master cylinder sprung a leak and I got the mushy pedal. So I went to my favorite Napa store, where I go to get the good stuff. And picked up a shiny new Chinese master cylinder, I was not too thrilled since this weekend I actually needed my car since my son went out of town in my truck.

The good news is the "Napa Chinese stuff" comes with a 2 year roadside assistance coupon to reimburse me $80 should it fail and need a tow home. I feel safe now. ::goodjob::

Haven't done a darn thing since Christmas. It hasn't gotten much above freezing this week, if at all, and no heat in the garage. I used to work in any temp when I was younger, but these old bones get creaky when it's fruitin' freezing!

X2 on that Doc. I'm going to have to invest in garage heat one of these days. I really dislike the cold weather. I'd like to just hang out in the garage sometimes.

 

[Tnfastbk]

OK jorgem2, Drug my old A$$ to the garage for the third day in a row. Mostly to make sure I had my mess cleaned up so my uncle can open tomorrow without having something to fuss at me about. So I took my carbon fiber parts down for a test fit. Pictures suck but you can kinda picture what it will look like with the dakota digital gauges, etc............

 

[droptop73]

Wow that looks slick.

Wow that looks slick.

x2. That carbon fiber look is cool.

I spent a couple hours cleaning the rest of the firewall - steering column, pedals, etc. Getting closer to blasting.
