What did you do to your Mach 1 today

[BlkMach10510]

Drove it and was almost turned into by someone staring directly at the car.

Finally got a gorgeous day in Southern California today. Over 70° outside and not a cloud in the sky so I finally got a chance to use the Gyeon Q2 wax. Waxed it today with some tips from @DFB5.0

it came out great. This stuff is really good. I’m glad that I gave it a shot and can’t wait to do a second coat. Spring is here.

awesome fellas, you should have swapped hoods with him so you can put that strut tower brace back on lol

Cam's going to have to buy his own, thank you very much.

This was not my printer but a buddy's, let me check with him to see if he's be interested in printing up a few more sets. The base in the picture has brown protective film on it but is clear 1/2" x 4" x 24" acrylic from McMaster-Carr that cost about $25. Also bought a 1/8" thick piece to run across the bottom of all the letter backs, going to try and assemble with double sided tape or superglue and see how it turns out. We were trying it without printing mounting holes or molded-in hex bolts to see if it would be strong enough.

OK he’ll print sets for $100 plus shipping. You can pay me the total with Venmo or PayPal, just PM me your address and I’ll get you a shipping cost. If you use PayPal pay-for-a-service please add the 3% Paypal fee. As long as I can find a box I’ll handle shipping to you since he’s not a 6G member (or a car guy, he’s amused that we even like this stuff) . Turnaround time about 2 weeks but he can only do one set at a time. He can print any basic color (red, blue, green, etc). They make filament in purple but not Mischievous Purple LOL. You will need to use a hobby knife to trim the extra thin plastic flash off the back edges. Easy but PIA. I tried sandpaper and various files too but that just left fuzz on the edges.

Absolutely fantastic, some lovey depth to the paint there!

How did you find the application?

It was very easy like you said it would be. I actually like their applicator because you can get very close to the edges but know where you’re actually at because of the edges of the pad. Way better than a round one. It’s very satisfying after doing work like that and seeing the finished work. But you know how that feels.

Went ahead and getting a set for me as well…thanks @Mikepol2

Gives me a reason to jump into 3D printing for other things like making a bigger version of the plate that came in the owners kit. Will probably check out the software first to learn and print to an online shop.

Cleaned inside.
Gave this a try for interior dressing. I liked on the Mach and threw it on wife's edge which is washed maybe twice a year :-/

@Mikepol2 I'll take one. Sending you a PM. Thanks!

Man, Steeda hood struts are now $150 (with St Paddy's Day 10% off). I used to be able to get 1.5 jacking rails for that

I used to be able to get eggs for a $1.99 too :(

Like they say, when you start sliding out on the track, don't look at the wall, look at where you want to go! Glad you ok.

 

[Mikepol2]

Done! Mounted with 3M heavy duty double faced tape, 1/8” X 3” X 17” rear acrylic support plate, and 1/2” X 4” X 20” acrylic base plate. Just using a simple squeeze clamp to hold it in place on the strut tower brace so it doesn’t get blown over on windy days. @Coastal-Mach , @cheeser , @quickDraw your letters are in the queue
