That turned out real nice. I would give it several coats of wax in about one month.

Yep - that is exactly where mine was. I couldn't take it anymore!


Thanks all...it has been a trip to get to this point...

Still trying to figure out if I need to do any more...

oh -- BTW...

Those ground effects were making so many noises. They grunted and groaned over most all bump and humps. Sometimes it sounded like the bushings were bad...not the case.

I am really suprised how much less chassis noisethere is now with those things gone.

Yours do look better than mine. But, after 10+ years in the FL sun, they actually were cracked and spiderwebbing.

I actually like it better with out them. If I had your, I would have considered keeping them. Mine were just trash

Purty sweet!! Now you need some Black Again for the bumpers!
I use tire shine on mine but it doesn't last.
Been thinking about getting a nice shiny wax job done on mine. Paint is still is pretty good shape save for the rusted parts down low.
