Wow James cant believe you sold your old car with the new TF wheels!? But the new one looks mighty sweet! What made you pull the trigger on this one so quickly? I hadnt heard you were selling the grey one even!

I had been looking for a mystichrome since last year when I bought the grey one. I had the 03 for sale for a while. A guy bought the 03 and I found this one. A doctor owned it in Tampa and he had every thing that had been done to the car. The oil was changed every 2500 miles and it is bone stock. I still have the TF wheels they will find there way onto the mystic

So youve got tires on order right?
I finally got the truck to the exhaust shop. Brother-in-law came over and followed me to pick me up or any pieces that fell off. Had to set the idle at 2k, and of course i had to stop next to people for three lights. Bet it looked funny with that beater of a thing giving off that noise and me inside with the windows down and my shooting ear muffs on. I did realize I will have to check the speedo, kept the stock cable and gears but I dont know what set is in the t-5. Felt weird to drive that thing on the road, hasnt been out of any neighborhoods since 2006.

Well, I decided to put my new detailing supplies I picked up from Hypermotive to good use. Started with a good hand wash and then dried it off and began polishing....... Not too shabby, even if they are crappy cell phone pics. I only got the Poorboys polish applied, I will go back and do a wax job tomorrow, and then do a little spring cleaning under the hood and on the inside. Also have to take the driver side door panel off and fix "the sag" where the material has started to come loose from the backing pad.
Anyway, here are a couple of pics from my adventures in waxing this evening.
And a couple of shots of the paint..... Bye bye swirl marks!!!
