It has begun…


As I have seen a few pics in the last few days of people cleaning their under sides of the SS’s I knew I needed to get in gear for the season to come..

For $15 you to can have a clean underbody…LOL At Wal-Mart > 2 “bags of rags”, 2 toilet brushes, 2 bottles of degreaser, and some cheap toothbrushes.

6 Hours later, 2 wheel wells and ½ the underbody done.. I love this quality time with her..More pics later..

It is a lot of work but when I was cleaning the underside of my car last Saturday and it took all day,it did not feel anything like work. Actually it was relaxing. [Cool]

It started at a very young age for me. Back in 1969 when I saved my paper route money and bought my 1st brand new bike...a Schwinn Heavy Duty. That bike cost me $79.95 plus tax, which was a ton of money back then. You could have went to Kmart or Sears and bought a 26" bike for $19.95 but they would not hold up to the constant weight of the newspapers like the Schwinn would.I used to take off the tires and clean the inside of the chrome fenders so rust would not form.

I find if I do anything with the SS, it's fun. It's like washing the dishes after dinner. No matter how good a job you do, you know they're going the get dirty again. [Big Grin]
