Wasn't today but Monday I was at Barrett Jackson Northeast helping out the Adam's team. Another team member Calvin got this picture of me working on a 1966 Chevelle.

I mean....you have to eat, grill takes priority in my book ????

I don't want to speak for the entire team at Adam's but I know a large portion of the crew will be at Barrett Jackson Northeast that weekend.

Pretty good size turbo, is that on the compressor or turbine side? Not familiar with ship engine layout.

I have Tru glow tritium night sights, a local gun shop always has free install with purchase of them. They are fairly bright at night, I'll try to get a picture tonight of them. The trigger is called a ghost trigger kit, the connector is a drop in part that essentially makes the pull smoother. Most people say the trigger pull is 2 pounds less as well. http://www.brownells.com/handgun-parts/trigger-group-parts/connector-parts/trigger-connector-for-glock-42-43-prod78352.aspx

This is a cool idea for a thread, I'll share some of what I own. I'm always buying, selling, and trading at a local gun show. Here's some of the stuff I have pictures of on my phone. Glock 43 with night sights, upgraded trigger pull and in a G Code Incog holster, carried 99% of the time. Top to bottom: Springfield 1911 Mil-Spec Beretta 92 A1 Glock 19 Trijicon Night sights, upgraded trigger. Smith and Wesson Shield 9mm Ruger LCP Custom On the left is a 1961 Smith and Wesson Model 10 Cincinnati police issue 38, I have the original grips for it but much nicer to shoot with the ones pictured. Latest acquisition is this Bushmaster QRC I traded for. Not a bad rifle, not shot much. Benelli Supernova Tactical, great pump gun. Not pictured, Henry 45-70, Mossberg 930 SPX, PSA built AR 5.56 with 18 inch barrel, S&W 686. These are the guns that have stayed around the longest, if I'm not happy with one I'll sell or trade it at the gun show pretty quick.

Glass cleaning
blcksilv08 replied to Nathan's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
The aerosol is fantastic and a single can goes a long way, I can tell stories... My favorite thing to do is wipe the outside of the window vertically and the inside horizontally so if for whatever reason I do get a streak I know for sure where it is. It's been said but change to a clean towel frequently and use less cleaner than you think. A little goes a long way. Hope this helps. -

It's always good when your job is never boring, something different everyday makes it so much better.

Last weekend, I drove from Cincinnati to Michigan for Lingenfelters Cars and Coffee, then from there all the way to Red River Gorge. After getting home Sunday night I had some nasty eastern Kentucky bugs(huge suckers, like flinch when they hit the window). Couldn't wash until Tuesday evening, pressure washer and waterless wash got 99 percent. The last couple I ended up using a soft clay. -
Welcome from Cincinnati Ohio

I wouldn't say that's a crazy amount of time if you've never done it before. It takes a while to get a feel for a good successful working speed for you and the polisher. Did you do a test area to see what polish and pad combos were required before doing the entire hood? I always do a small test section with however many steps it's going to take to get the paint to the end result I was shooting for. After I have that figured out I work panel by panel in each step.

I agree!! I have never done much street riding but some dirt bike trail rides and stuff like that.

Other than tint windows and give a car the Adam's treatment, this one of this first things I do with a new to me vehicle.

Welcome from Cincinnati and someone that travels to Youngstown frequently.

"Stained" Wheel...

Revive is one of my favorite Adam's products, so little praise for it. -
It doesn't matter how fast a car can go, if you can't stop it's useless. Quality brakes are worth it in my opinion.

Welcome!!! Definitely a rabbit hole, but a very nice clean one at that.

You should be able to see their first name if they have it listed on the left or click on a persons profile. I'll give you a hint for me, you know me and I know you're a moke bro. Hahahaha

Thanks! Mine is 4X4 as well, just a 5.7 Vortex though. Really I couldn't pass up the deal, runs and drives great for the mileage. The only reason I bought it was to drive it in the winter time.

You can definitely get great results using L&I cleaner, cockpit brush and utility towel. Follow with Leather conditioner like Rich said and it's awesome.
