    Will I make Carlisle???

    I just got done with another late night of thrashing. I hope to prep and paint the roll bar tomorrow. I've spent countless hours polishing it and I can only hope that the clear I'm going to use works as advertised. I'm going to apply POR15 Glisten PC to it and hope it retains the polished look. I then have to re-install all of the interior, cut the carpet to fit the roll bar, finish up the stereo install in the trunk, and wash/wax the car. Why do I do this to myself every year???

    Here's how the car looks at the moment...

    In true pre-carlisle fashion! I'm sure you'll make it. A couple years ago, I believe you were in far worse shape and still made it

    haha they said it right!!

    Paul, you've got the most going on this week that I've seen. I've just been tying up a bunch of loose ends myself before I hopefully have time to clean my car up.

    -rebuild wheels... check.
    -mount tires.... check.
    -new brakes (just pad change)... check.
    -polish exhaust... check.
    -install HID fogs ....right after I make this post
    -paint that stupid little red square in the grill behind the snake flat/satin black ... right after I install HID fogs (and aim them down so I don't piss you guys off any more than I already do)
    -detail car. Was going to clay >> polish >> glaze >> wax >> wax, but right now I don't feel like doing that. Might just be a mequiers quick detailer type of week for me if I end up helpin out Dave
    -install my hellion hellraiser through the 3.4 whipple with crusher inlet.. oh wait.. now I'm just making shit up as I go


    Good luck on their projects everyone!

    and I thought I was the one pushing the time limit with my car build.

    My only issue is that my touchup paint will be here Friday after I am gone so I cant clean up the area were I uninstalled the strut tower brace. Its not like I would win a car show anyhow.

    thursday i'm helpin brian put on his new tail pipes. I have tomorrow off so I'll probably just glaze & wax it then and call it done. I did my engine bay today as well so I'm mostly set.

    BTW if anybody with an 03/04 cobra buys DDM tuning's slim line HID H10's for their fog lights, you have to modify the harness to make it work
