Talking Details

How many of you guys detail your under carriage's? Im working on mine and was wondering if im the only nut. I took off my wheels today and polished the inside of the rims they look sweet I also detailed inside all the wheel wells control arms etc. I will post some shots as soon as I fiqure it out.
How do you attach photos ? I want to put my car in some concourse shows and what Im told you can even have brake dust on the inside of the rims. Am I nuts?


Here she is all done up.

Looks nice Ray.



As to posting pictures, all you need to do is put the Jpeg file or address in between [IMG] [/IMG]

Really a nice looking job. I do the same thing during the winter lay-up months. Not much else to do so I figure I might as well keep her clean. Very cheap entertainment!!!!!!!

No, you're not Ray. I've done some cleaning up underneath, but not to the extent of having it show car ready. I enjoy driving it too much, and quite honestly can't justify spending the time underneath it to painstakingly remove every bit of dirt and grease. Having said that, yours looks great!

Yeah, I admit that the truth hurts...I can't even fit my arse underneath after raising it a foot.

You better be careful Keith....I've found that you have to be nice to wifey when you're slithering around underneath there...especially if she knows how to operate a floor jack.
