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.






My bumpers have always been washed out in colour, so let's see how this works.....not bad!

Before:


After:



I had bought these from Walmart and they work pretty good to do this kind of job.....

[Scott Douglas]

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?

[Baz]

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.

The gas door on the 87 944S (plastic, early ones had metal doors
[img]http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploads26/IMG_6385173
And when Porsche did that



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.

And Fluff approved.


Fortunately a easy modification.

Pulled the mock up headliner down today and painted the cabanes and window frames.

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.

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.

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.

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.......

This wheel pant took a beating.... it's what happens when a rock gets in and goes spin cycle...

[herr_oberst]

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?
