New England Chit Chat

I have a good drill but no drilling bits. I suppose I could buy some since I have been meaning to anyways.

Yeah, you should do that ...

I think I have a few with me in my tool box, but not sure, and if I do, they're rusty.

 

[Captainstr8edge]

either way bring your soldering stuff if you have it.

billy, bring your brass punch!

 

[Gabe]

Thanks Brian, Billy and Kevin for your help today ... we may not have gotten everything done that we wanted to get done, but we started.

The damn wind was vicious.

I got to Stoneham and it was calm and sunny ... made me wanna start doing more stuff to the car right there and then ... lol

Brian, did you ever get the pic I texted you?

We will get more done when its warm.

Just ordered more detailing stuff. A wash mit, Shampoo, clay bar with lubricant, sealant, and wax. I was thinking about going all out with polishes and whatnot, but I know I'm not going to want to spend that much time on it. I figure its white and scratches aren't very easy to see so I could get away with just doing a nice sealant and wax and be happy with it.

Brian, you should get this wax. http://www.chemicalguys.com/CAR_WAX_PASTE_PROJECT_J97_ULTIMATE_WAX_p/n_002.htm

The Allen key is a nice touch.

Totally worth the coin.

I figured most of the money was paying for the allen key. The best part is, you could use that key on something else if you needed to!

 

[HellsBells]

Lmfao $850. Looks like chemical guys is on board with the scam waxes too.


Sent from my SCT X3

 

[S197gt07]

Some $800 waxes are actually worth it.

They sure as shit dont come from Chemical guys though.

Everybody enjoy the fantastic weather we had yesterday? I cursed a lot

 

[Gabe]

Yeah, awesome weather yesterday ... love my new Roush chin splitter that I put on yesterday ... and I must've done a decent job cuz it apparently is solid to over 100 mph ... don't ask how I know ... lol

 

[S197gt07]

Wind tunnel testing

 

[Gabe]

Wind tunnel testing

Yeah, that must've been it

 

[Captainstr8edge]

post a pic!

 

[Gabe]

I thought I did, lol. guess not in this thread.

Dirty car, but here it is anyway

 

[Captainstr8edge]

nice, splittler looks good

 

[S197gt07]

It'll look better once we get the Koni's on the bastard.

Stupid wind chill making it 20 degrees out!

 

[Gabe]

Lol, yeah it will.

I just made an appointment for this Saturday 11AM to have the windows tinted

Darkest legal doors/rear window, 5 or 20% on the rear 1/4 windows, and most likely a 5% eyebrow ... going with Tint King in Billerica again ... they did my Charger and did an awesome job.
I may also have them re-do the front windows of my Focus ... the driver's window is peeling, the guy did a pretty bad job ... also, I asked for darkest legal and they measure at about 30% ... well below "darkest legal" which might actually be a problem this year / next month when I'm going for a sticker with the car ...

 

[S197gt07]

You going to sticker it in MA or NH?

 

[Gabe]

MA.
My license is MA, my residence is MA, and I'm moving back there in April.
Glad I never switched anything to NH at this point ...

 

[Captainstr8edge]

mine are 20% lol

 

[S197gt07]

I think MA legal is 35% all around.

I think I'll do tint in the spring myself. Even though I'll do 35, it'll look darker with the black leather inside, as well as the black top.
