I decided to wait till Mike came over to start the car plus I need to pick up some fuel from Winter Circle in Joliet
so I at least have some good quality fuel in the car over the winter.

Checking for leaks

Pulled it out of the garage but I didn't get that far.

Let's just say we didn't get that far. Yes we ran out of gas !!!

Test Drive was fun and good news the car rode great. However, we had a minor tire rub issue which was caused
by me flipping a tailpipe hanger the incorrect direction. Simple fix however I did burn a little rubber off the sidewall.

Opps

Bummer I am going to have to rewrap this tailpipe.

Prior to winter coming I wanted to have the paint protection applied and lucky me my neighbor does this in his garage shop
so a quick 30 second drive to his house and the car will be get a little paint correction on the gloss area's and the matte area's
will get a Matte Ceramic coating to protect the paint.

Day One.

Heading back to my garage for the night and I will be bringing it back tomorrow so he can coat the gloss area.

What is crazy after the paint correction the metallic is so noticeable.

Man, love this car, you've even pulled off making a bike rack look sexy! One question...I'm considering wrapping the tail pipes on my car since everything is so close back there. Do you think the wrap makes a noticeable difference in keeping the heat off other components? Thanks!

Thank you very much for the compliments on the car.

Yes, I think wrapping the tailpipes is going to reduce the heat buy a bunch as it was pretty much hugging the gas tank. My tailpipes where Hi-Temp coated and I just wanted to go that extra mile as I am hoping to drive the car on part of Power Tour and drive to to Good-Guys Columbus next year. So I wanted a little extra protection.

Awesome...both the Power Tour and Goodguys Columbus are on my "to do" list next year as well. Rumor has it that next year will be the last year for Power a Tour...

I can see that happening as the Power Tour has gotten so large and it's almost impossible to accommodate all of the people and cars

Looking great Marty!

Detroit to Texas GG hoft road tour.
Or you can be a real man and drive it out to Cali, go do some mountain biking, drive to Texas in the GG hoft tour (their doing two different ones i may have told you) and drive it home.......

Now that sounds like a plan
