The life...

I had an industrial machine like that it was a singer. It just had a single speed motor with a clutch that you work with your knee. I read up people converting them to a tradmill motor with variable speed. I never ended up doing anything with it my smaller machine does everything I throw at it.

Finally got around to doing some preservation work on the Volvo trim/moldings. Tried this product from Chemical Guys and am very impressed. We'll see how well it holds up.

Baz, I use that on my wife's CR-V and it works really well. I think you're gonna love it. I end up using it about once a year on the trim, it holds up that well.

This is a '13 model year and the right side is the side that is in the sun when it sits on the driveway. Can you tell?

Thanks, Scott...your wife's CR-V looks GREAT...especially for an '13!

Do you use it on the tires, as well? Because they look great, as well.

While I know that I have a gas doors in who knows what box, so I borrowed the door off the stagnant 924S.
When Porsche changed from the metal gas door on the 944 series, they also changed the spacing of the gas door hinge.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1739499655.jpg

Looks great, Guy! I will be posting some photos later once I re-size them that you will dig! Cheers!

Let's see if these are small enough. Photos taken at our local American Aero Services. Pretty cool place to visit!

Had the 911 aligned. I’m embarrassed to say how much I paid, but they do really good work in the owner is friendly.

Kick ass baz! Is that a jug fuse?

Not sure I know what a "jug fuse" is, Guy! ;)

-------------------

Gearing up to do some battery installs/replacements. There's 2 different models here. Four of them for the RC26 and two of them for the RC15. Charging them up before the install this week.

The three to the left are brand new. The other three I've had since December.

Thanks Baz. I'm pretty proud of how it looks.
I don't use anything on the tires except soap and water.:D

edit: And the RC truck wasn't bought at Wally world either.

Baz, I think he was inquiring if the fuselage lying on its side was from a P 47 Thunderbolt, aka Jug.

Yes

I may have to try this stuff. My Ram trifold bed cover has some fading and I really don’t want to replace it just for that. I’ve used multiple products but they just don’t last.

They have different products for different applications, Matt. Looks like these might be best for your needs.......

I used them for my Boxster top and they worked great!

OK thanks - no idea Guy - sorry!

My dad used to call them wheel pants too, so that's always the term I use. But it got me wondering - is there differences between a shroud or a pant or a fairing?
