Default pics: Winternationals Prep Continues

Over the last week and this weekend, I was able to get the wheels polished up, the suspension parts on, the undercarriage done, and the paint polished out with Menzerna Intense and Final II polish. The paint sits raw waiting for its final treatment of FMJ. The new suspension parts consist of UMI double adjustable rod end lower control arms, BMR relocation brackets, UMI double adjustable rod end panhard bar, and Hotchkis front and rear sway bars. Looking forward to getting ol Red back down to Road Atlanta this March to see how it handles. But before that, it has a 1000 point show in Orlando comming fast.

I know you've mentioned before, but what do you use for cleaning on the undercarriage?

Several things, but I use several off the counter cleaners for general cleaning, mother polish for the stainless, I have painted several things as well. Nothing specific, just losts of sweat equity.

Your right, it only has 17,xxx miles on it, but I did do the Power Tour 3000 mile plus long haul last year, it sees Road Atlanta three times a year which beats the hell out of it, and several local drives on the Blue Ridge Parway. So it sees driving, just not daily.
