  • Started painting the steel wheels black. I can only paint one at a time since I only have one jack. Most of the jack points are rusted so I can't really use jack stands.

    • I tend to not work much on mine. Just drive it! Was crazy foggy this morning. These pics don't even do it justice!

        • It's been off for months. I bought it cause I was going to do this Hotter than Hell Hundred down in Wichita Falls, TX and I didn't end up doing it this year. Took it off cause I do a lot of HWY miles and want the better gas mileage.

          And somehow my other photo from yesterday morning got delete...weird.

          • Pictures of it after all the painting that I have done over the last week.

            Cell phone camera's don't take pictures for crap unless it is a bright sunny day. :p

            Wheels painted with high temperature paint meant for BBQ grills and the like.

            • What paint did you use for the interior trim? I've been wanting to do all black inside.

                Krylon Fusion, but I am sure any paint made to bond with plastic will work great.

                I am thinking of adding a blue strip down the length of both my bumpers in those grooves. I do have a can of blue Valspar plastic paint and a can of blue Krylon Fusion.

                      Fiiiiiiinally was able to get my muffler and the upstream exhaust pipe replaced.

                      Only took me 3 friggin' trips to Oklahoma City (80 miles one way) to get Midas to put on my 'free' muffler.....:cry_smile:

                      But, MAN!, is it quieter now! :highly_amused:

                      And, as a bonus, the guy that did the work showed me where I had an oil leak below the fuel pump. Gotta take care of that.

                        Some underseat tray rails I bought from 'caoverlock' arrived today. Cool!

                        Went to a Ford dealer here in town to look at possible paint colors for my upcoming paintjob. 99% sure I'm gonna go with "Blue Flame Metallic". Sweeeet! :thumbs_up: Other contenders are "Deep Impact Blue" and "Blue Jeans". All Ford colors. Got a red paint color picked out today, too, if I turn a parts-car into a DD: "Ruby Red", another Ford color.

                        Washed Twistiva (too freaking cold to give it anything more than a spray-down at a car wash).

                        And...paid for 3 Festiva emblems.

                        • What about black? A desirable Festiva color?

                          Today we broke a record high temperature for January 12. People were walking around with open jackets. All the snow has completely vanished.

                            Color: Nope, I'm going with blue. I love blues and reds on cars. But not an opaque-type blue or red, something with a touch of metallic or pearl in it.

                            WX: Pretty danged warmed winter so far in Oklahoma, too. Cold today but very warm before that. In the 60's yesterday.

                              • I personally have received 14" of snow in the past 48 hours. At my mom's house they got the most they had in 10 years. 26" in 24 hours...
