jkqorg2101or7orsomedamnnumber...jaysus, why not make it simple on the rest of us and use a name like Fred or Latecha or Jose or Abdul?
Just screwing with a newbie...you'll get used to it (or not...I frankly don't give a damn), and I'm here to help sorta.
I have one of the first BNLs (bare naked lady) done...after seeing Tom Jr's roughly done as the family track car, and started that trend on these pages. Talked DaveyBoy into creating arruminum scoops so it wouldn't have a damn glass scoop screwing things up. I've maintained it since getting it in 2003.
How? By leaving it the phuk alone as much as possible. Keep it clean, use copious amounts of Windex (blue, not pink) and fix the areas that need it to remove scratches.
Listen to the majority...it is difficult to get it exactly right just for maintenance. Let them do it and instead concentrate on all of the other details you'll want to finish it off with...correct and proper plumbing for the
oil vapor tank, the correct mirrors, maybe have them deliver it fully brushed and then add the ghost stripes or rookie fender strips. Always remember that the arruminum scoop will never completely match the rest of the hood/body when you polish, so best to have what are ghost stripes (or slightly polished brushed areas).
I watched one of my bestest buddies (Buckley) do a hand job (one the car, not himself) of polishing at home...started that trend. He had arruminum dust everywhere...I mean everywhere. Use his toilet and you'd end up with a shiny ring on your buns. Brushing will take just as much work/create as much dust.
...just my humble freeking opinion. If you wish to ruin your life and upset the rotataion of the earth, then by golly go in peace, Amen, thanksbetogod and praise Allah.
BTW...when you're in the shop, they have a little known policy...any little parts you can stick in your pockets are free. It's just one of the those nice things Kirkham does for its customers.
