Default My insane engine detailing!!

It all started with a can of red plastic paint and kind of got out of control! But it's for the car shows and fun really. My Union Jack covers are actually not white but a beige to match interior oatmeal. Waiting on Tony's Pragon red coolant hoses and I'm done!

loving it - maybe some palladium leaf on the intake runners - would look more like the old-school injectors.

I hate to tell you this but you will never be done. Every time I say it I find something else to do.

Yeah, we all believe that.


The Union Jack covers do look like fun, especially for shows.

Phil... when you're done with the car (which will probably be 2 weeks after NEVER) you should think about hosting your own "trick out my ride" reality show on TV ! Marvelous job amigo !!

Just wait until you see the hand-applied pinstripe job on the differential cover...

Let's get real. You really need a portion of your hood to be clear so the beautiful work can be viewed without putting up the hood.

C'mon, somebody here should do it...

Tony, where's the hood window option at Paragon? I cannot find it yet...

He is the master of holding back on us. He probably has had one for two years.
