The interior was so easy. I just vacuumed, lightly cleaned the carpets, dressed the leather, and wiped everything down.



These gauges are pretty cool though, they are actually manufactured locally by a guy I know (I detailed his mustang a few months ago). They are from www.speedofsound.com

7,000 miles on an 01?! Wow! Car looks great. If it were mine it would have a few more top down miles logged on her. :D
 
Def a supercharger! Yep thats wut the Comptech superchargers lok like! Idk if that is one but it does in fact look just like a turbo! Acts just like one too just not pwoered by exhaust gases! VERY COOL. My friend has one on his S2K

Excellent!!!

That first picture - was the car OP free or did you grind them off with the rotary? The door looks perfect.

You know it's funny, I have detailed plenty of Fords and all of them had OP to some extent (like most OE finishes). I guess this fellow got a ringer becasue there was *very* little OP at all. The paint was flawless except for about four or five scratches down the side from his daughter's bike. :eek:



Thanks again to everyone. :)
 
Thats a centrifical supercharger, which is bastically the same design from a turbo, but run off the crank by a belt, instead of by a turbine from exhaust gases. Lots of high end power, no low end gain (very little).



As far as the detail! NICE!
 
wow. that's a nice snake and nice detail. :xyxthumbs



what is the "EO pro WB dressing" you used in the engine bay? thanks.

Eagle One pro water based dressing, available through sparlkeauto. I can't remeber the exact URL, but google that and you have the link. Great dressing for motors, wheel wells, etc.



THANKS!!!!
