Spring is here! bath time!

It was 56 degrees today! After I shoveled the 14" of snow that we got yesterday off the car and out of the driveway, I figured it was time for a bath.

Not done with the body work yet, it got too cold before I could finish last year. I'll get the body finished and painted soon!

Who else washed their car today??

They are whatever Lou's Custom Exhaust in MA uses. They do specialize in Flowmaster, so they may be.

They come out a little less than 2". They have 4" openings.

lol, yah the 17's are in the shed till spring actually gets here!

Those wheels *are* stock Iroc rims, but 85-87. This car should have the 88/89 style... but those were too hard to find!
