  1. Re: Let's remove 100k miles from a Dodge RAM shall we.....

    Looks amazing! Is that really a gasser? A 2500 Dodge without a Cummins is like going to a steakhouse and only ordering a salad. hahaha

    Re: How important is durability to you?

    I agree. Collinite is amazing for the winter! I use that on my sled trailer and it holds up great, even after being drug through the salt all winter long. I wash it after every trip and then...
  3. Re: Checking in! Finally purchased my dream car! 2006 Viper

    Congrats! That’s a sweet ride. I love that color!
  4. Re: If you could start all over, what would your occupation be?

    :laughing:

    That must be why it seems like my UPS driver always tries to hit 60 before he gets to the end of my driveway. :laughing:
  5. Re: If you could start all over, what would your occupation be?

    Something where I work less and get paid more. :D

    Re: I hate black

    I agree 100%. Black is a lot of work, but the reward is much greater than with any other color. It has to be black black though and not the washed out metallic blacks like most vehicles are today. ...
  7. Re: Garage Lighting - Looking for recommendations

    I would go with 5K and I would suggest going with more fixtures with lower lumen output vs less fixtures with higher output since your garage is probably a fairly low ceiling. The high output high...

    Re: New flooring is done

    That’s about the same as I was quoted when I looked into right after I built my workshop. One was a touch over $10k and one was just over $11k, which is about twice as much as the actual concrete...

    Re: New flooring is done

    Looks great! I would love to do something similar in my shop but I’m thinking the size would make it pretty cost prohibitive to hire it done. Did it come with any kind of warranty since you had it...

    Re: Detailer's Slang ??? Personal sayings ???

    A family friend who was a painter and owned his own body shop often used the term “furback” (the further back you are the better it looks) when referring to bad/poor repairs and paint jobs. I...

    Re: “Showtime” Purple Hellcat!

    That is the only Mopar I would ever consider owning. Love the styling of these and that color is awesome!

    Great job. Looks amazing.

    Re: 17yrs and 298,895 Miles Wiped Clean

    Results are amazing. I’ve always liked the looks of the Volvo wagons.

    The owner is a car salesman’s worst nightmare like me. Keeps their cars forever. I don’t drive anywhere close to that kind...

    Re: Pothole Hell

    Yeah, I was going to say I don’t think it’s limited to the NE US. I think Michigan has some of the worst roads in the nation and as others have pointed out “fix the damn roads” isn’t happening.

    Re: He offered to fly me to Pittsburgh :)

    I agree. I’ve been approached many times in the parking lot at work (back when I actually went to the office) asking where I had my truck detailed. When I told them I did it myself the next...
  15. Re: Buy enough towels to make a DEDICATED small wash load

    That’s an excellent suggestion. A lot of people “upgrade” their washer/dryer after purchasing a home and there’s nothing wrong with the ones they took out. It’s only later on that they find out...

    Re: Wood Lathe recommendations?

    No experience with wood lathes, but lots of experience with variable speed and step pulley drive setups and while the variable speed is a nice feature to have, it is expensive to fix if/when it wears...

    I agree with what others have said about it being a losing battle. I will also add that, as much as it sucks having to brush off the snow, leaving your vehicle out in the elements all winter is much...

    It’s going to be single digits with below zero windchills here, so no outdoor cooking for me. I don’t really have an interest in either of the teams this year, so if I can get some guys together we...

    A 5.0 Coyote can make 700+ HP with a whipple and the proper tune, so I have no doubt it is FAST! Also, as PaulMys already pointed out, Limited is not available in regular cab, XLT is the highest...

  21. Re: I've never owned a large air compressor before

    Go with the bigger compressor and make sure you don’t have any leaks. No need for a second smaller compressor then. I have a 60 gallon Quincy 2-stage compressor in my shop and it sits for long...

    I completely agree with the bold and that’s the reason many aren’t washed very often. One trip down a dirt road or through a field and it looks just like that again. For a lot of farm trucks the...

    It depends on the area and how careful you are.

    For most areas, side windows, emblems, wheel mouldings, etc., I usually just run one piece of 1” or 1.5” wide tape along the edge of the trim next...
