I love 2 door Z71s, and they are rare. I saw one with a 5 speed a few days ago online...wasn't in the greatest shape. Too bad the damn thing is 23 hours away.



Did the Mustang rear bumper today. Turned out good from what I can see. I took the time to tape it off right (as best I could).





Did the Mustang on the wheels too...wasn't sure if it was going to turn out good. I think it looks nice.

So... DONT GET TIRE SHINE on Plasi Dip.. I coated my Tahoe tires, and let it sit, went to wipe the over-spray off the wheels and it made the stuff basically MELTED off. Couldn't peel it off, so i just took a wet rag and got it all off, repainted them..

But that's just for future notes.

Alot of tire shine products are full of solvents, particularly the spray can types. I'm guessing that would be your problem. I use tire shine religiously, and make sure it doesn't contain solvents. I use the gel stuff and apply it with a cloth.
