'Late Model' Class Winner (pics)
Nice local show yesterday and 1st place winner in the 1992-2012 'late model' class. Among the victims were a newer Roush Mustang and a '97 Anniversary Camaro. 1st time I took the T/A to a show this season as I mostly have taken the SS. For those interested I use the Mother's 100% Carnauba Wax as my final layer. Makes the red 'pop'. Click on the photos to enlarge if you want.

Very nice!
I can recognize a fellow stickler for detail. You've done a first rate job of keeping that car in top condition, it looks more like 5-10k miles rather than 32k.
The radiator cap with red text is a nice touch, I always thought about doing that with my red WS6 as well but never got around to it. I see that you don't have the original assembly line wiper blades any longer though! It looks like the only other non-original items are the tires, valve stem caps and oil fill cap.
That car is just beautiful.

This T/A is cleaned after most every outing. Thanks for the kind words.

You are extremely sharp-eyed. Spot on with everything you mentioned. I have all the original parts saved except the GS-C tires. Since I replaced them with the GS-D3 tires I wasn't worried about it. I just hope Goodyear keeps making these 16" size. I like 'stock' original cars but a few dress-up items are always nice, like the oil cap and tire caps. Very minor things.

The selection of 16" tires in our stock size has shrunk to very little in recent years. I made the change to a 17" SS wheel back in 2005, but I still have my stock chrome 16s and would most likely select the same tire that you have now, should I ever go back to the original wheels.
Anyway, I just wanted to acknowledge the obvious attention to detail that your car displays. I realize the amount of cleaning and care that is necessary to keep a street driven car looking that nice over the course of 30k+ miles; this type of attention takes a real commitment. I too have a regular cleaning routine that mine sees after every weekend of use.
