    Is that your wax of choice? How often do you wax, I know that you drive your cars. Any tips that you have?

    I bought 6 NOS cans of Kit on Ebay a few years back, I think it is from the 70's. seems fitting to wax old paint with old wax. I really like Collinite paste wax too. I wax all of my cars every spring..... even my late models

    Those covers are on with Velcro. I did drive it once at night with them on and they don’t let much light through

    looks like some sort of alien space bug with those covers on the headlights.:)
    looking over this thread I think it would have been cool if they had removed the peak in the hood from the center and put 3 on the side lined up with the seats. do the trunk as well.
