I'd get the spiderwebs off that ceiling if I knew that picture was going in the calendar.

Cool car. Great owner.

Thanks everyone! The picture was taken when Jeremi was changing the front hubs (sorry, no hub swap) because the right one was making the unmistakeable loud hum that could be felt in the floorboard. Turn right and the hum would go away, straighten out or turn left and it was there. Using the old quadratic equation in algebra which also holds true for cars and other mechanical devices: "what you do to one side you also do to the other side", so both hubs were replaced with Timken.

While he was working on replacing them and me trying to stay out of his way I walked around to the back of my car, and I had my digital SLR Canon camera with me. I looked at the back lights and bumper, thought it would be a different submission for the calendar so I took the picture and sent it in when the thread was posted for pics. But I don't recall seeing a spider web anywhere! His garage is clean and tidy (unlike mine)!

Shiny? No wax on it yet, all Meguiar's polish by hand. I now have a Porter Cable and Meguiar's 105, 205, machine glaze and butter wax along with backing plate and foam pads so I'm ready to start. I did wash it, claybar'd it and washed it, now I'm waiting for more warm WX to get going on it.
