We used to have our windows tinted by our friend AL.... he was much more reasonable than most and a GREAT guy to boot. But his shop closed down in our town and we lost track of him. Well Tee wanted her two front side windows, stripe across the windshield and her sunroof tinted so I started calling shops for prices. WOW, were they HIGH IMO... call the last shop and WHO answers the phone.... YUP it was AL... so Tee headed down and gottem done!

Gee willakers.... I almost forgot.... Tee took me to Harbor Freight on the way home after tinting her windows and bought this for me.......

Oh... baby how SWEET IT IS........................THEN.... I REALIZED...

When we got home she said "Hey, why don't you try that new buffer on my fogged headlights on CHANCE AND DEMON....
(I shudda know ~ a method to her MADNESS ~ LOL~)

So I gotter' out and got my Scratch X ~ did not have the actual headlight detailing kit.... but WOW, what a difference, Put this on thick and began buffing.... did that three times then apply tow separted coats of wax and buffed that out ~ NOT perfect but 90% better than they were!

lol getting new tools is always fun. Harbor Freight is awesome, maybe not like high end name tools or such but with my experience with them they are damned good tools. A lot of our power tools are from there, since we dont even use them so often, why spend an arm and a leg for a tool to have laying in the garage.

Jim bud I have no idea how you and Tee do it, keeping up with 6 cars and modding them all, I'm having trouble just trying to keep up with my 2 (my truck and my 62 Ford) but there never seems to be enough time let alone money lol

Well we surely have More Time than Money, i.e. my screen name NOTPAID4, and we really are NOT spending a lot of money, most of this stuff I have had already and aquired over time and just don't throw anything away! YOU would NOT believe how many of these things I either get at our local flea market or Dollar stores!!!

Thank YOU for the very nice comment!!!

I can tell you THIS: If and when we ever do get rid of any of our cars; they'll be in the BEST shape that WE could have them in. We keep receipts of everything and pictures of everything. We have an manila envelope labeled for EVERY CAR we own and keep receipts of EVERYTHING. And in EACH CAR we have a log book and write EVERYTHING DOWN... incl. gas fills ups, MPG, rotating tires, wiper blades, air filters ~ EVERYTHING!!!

NOW the effort is RUFF ~ We sure been busy... worked on both Blue and Chance all day today and we'll be doing more tomorrow!!! No doubt!

Wow that's great Jim, not many people actually take the time to do all those things, but if you do sell them any new owner will know they are getting a great car from a great family.

Yea I guess that's the thing too, I seem to never find enough time to do everything.
