Take him up on that! That shouldn't be open!!!

You also need to remove the battery and tray and check for acid damage. It looks like the battery hold down is corroded in that pic. Replace that battery with a sealed gel or "at least" get a battery wrap from summitracing.

Good job on the car, but as far as the rear bumper and the pin striping... kinda reminds me of my uncle ronnie.

me and my friend just detailed about an hour b4 i took pics. Here's a tip on waxing to make ur paint look awesome. Put a light coat of wax on, let it sit for about 5 minutes, then apply another coat on top of it, then take both coats off....it really brings out the color.

btw, i was wondering if there would be any color difference where the pinstripes used to be if i took them off???
