Washed Sweet Lorraine good after Pueblo and removed the Road Warrior film I put on for the track. For the most part it came off easy but never in one long piece. Applied some Adams paint correction with a polishing pad and then applied a clear top coat polish. Applied Mothers Back to Black on all the plastic trim and front spoiler. Took me seven hours to get her in show shape and I never got to the finish work on the wheels or the interior. A martini was in order for this old bag of sore bones and it never tasted so good.

I didn't apply the film up that far as this was my first tyme use. But I did apply it over a decal with small lettering and it didn't lift it when I removed the film. It seemed to work as advertised.

Took a friend from out of town for a ride in my LS. He is a car guy but had no idea that these things were as special as we all know they are and he was blown away.
 
Made the call to eventually trade my 14 GT TP in on a crew cab truck.

We are planning to have a baby, and we need a more practical baby hauler...a 2014+ GMC Sierra 1500 4x4 crew cab is the only thing i would settle for.

So now its time to sell all the parts i have collected, turn the car back to stockish, and sell what parts i take off the car.

Oh joy....

Got the front UCA bolt torqued yesterday after work by stopping in to the local repair shop and borrowed their torque wrench.
Today, I drove the Boss to work for the first time since last fall. On the way out, a nite shift worker on the production floor said "Hey, nice car!" I guess they all keep track of the office worker's vehicles.
And at lunch I stopped at the satellite TV shop to look at upgrade options. The owner walks by and had to comment on how nice my Boss looks, and how he liked the race red color.
Hearing nice comments about the Boss just never gets old.

Got the oil change done and new sneakers on. I have never, ever seen such a mondo thick gasket on any brand oil filter like this Amsoil one. I liked the icons on the filter showing the install procedure to pre-fill the filter.

Yes, my garage is a mess and my siding needs pressure washing... Oh and I will be scheduling appointment for an alignment =) Check out the 'boat' in the background - haha.

Quickie pix with my iPhone Xs, will use my Lumix for glam shots of the new wheels with just the right angle to have the black stripe appear gray.

So i'm recent Boss 302 convert. Came from a 16 Focus RS. Today I did the piped in engine sound delete . Partly because I like the quieter cabin but mostly getting rid of the extra spaghetti under the hood. Looks just that much cleaner and open under the hood now.
Car still sounds amazing!! :D

That sound tube wasn't needed for the Boss for sure..the Ford boys just got lazy to delete it for the Boss...They knew us owners would do it and have a cleaner engine bay....;)
