Thanks to all. At this point I believe that I'll be doing a bucket wash on the lower body, and just a vacuum on the convertible top. Then I'll at least be able to see what I have to work with.
I can...
I really would like to use the hose to blast all of those filthy area's, but early Thunderbirds are known to be very leaky around the area's that the top meets. That's even with new weather...
Hi Mike, I've completed all 30 pages in the thread on restoration of single stage paint. My first question pertains to using a waterless wash on classic vehicles. I've recently inherited a 1955...
I feel your pain, The same thing happened to my wifes car at 2 weeks old. I suggest you call your local dealership and ask who they use for paintless dent repar. They all use them, and know who the...
It's going to be my first time using the PC, so I'll probably be really slow. I probably should have said LSP not necessarily a sealent. I was thinking of a liquid wax.
I wish I could, but we have different work schedules. We are only off at the same time one day a week. The car's never been clayed, or polished in it's 5 year life. It's going to take some time.

In Europe, the land of...
Once again I agree with you Mike, but as soon as some of these folks are sitting at the stop light in their Prius, and one of the new muscle cars are rumbling next to them, their hearst will beat...
I agree Mike. Just remember, If you buy it... They will build it. With good numbers, there will be more on the way. Maybe restyled Road Runner's, Torino's, and Chevelle's. I think the future may be...
You are absolutely correct, but things are getting much better. The new Mustang, Challenger, and Camaro are showing signs that the old "Horsepower wars" are returning. Thankfully...:)
But the fastest production cars in the world don't put up very good 1/4 mile times,by drag racing standards. Drag racing is my first love, and will always be a mistress. In the crowd I run with,...
Well it may not be fair fo me to compare. I have owned only American my whole life. My first '71 big block El Camino was a screamer. Then I discovered Mopar. "70 340 Cuda, (I really wish I still had...
