Well now my Pop is running sweet as far as the rear axle is concerned, my enthusiasm was once again ignited and yesterday afternoon I was on it from 3pm when I finished work until it went dark. I washed it, polished it, cleaned the inside and got the oily handprints from the Axle job off the wings (Cheers Howie )

Anyway when it came to the White Letters on my Kelly Superchargers, I was at a bit of a loss. I didn't think a sponge and car shampoo was going to do the job, so I decided to go for one of Mrs Ed's Scourers (Not Wire Wool) and Tesco Lemon Cream Cleaner. Wow! What a combination, they came up whiter than white!
I know that wire wool was always a good one but I think this one is less abrasive and does just as good (if not better) a job!

Just spray Wd40 then wipe it.The letters come up like new

sorry about the oily hand prints the ones on the left were howies ,ones on the right were mine ,ones on the back were dunks (jack controler).wot a team.glad to here its going well .

Yeah I knew that, I checked the fingerprints against the MI5 database .

It's brilliant, and the more I drive it the more I realise how much better it is. The brakes have sorted themselves now too, well either that or I've got used to them.
Found a few water leaks in the car yesterday though, when it chucked it down about 5pm. Have to sort them out quick before the ral winter wet weather comes.

Thanks for your help with it too Secy

heh! gotta laugh when my 16 yr old daughter gets in and slams the door after it's been raining, she gets soaked (and she never learns)

thats normal for teenagers thick but they know it all

that's hot rods for you!!
- kev
maybe a sticker?? 'real hot rods have water leaks'

i dont mind water leaks on the rods but as long as its not raditors etc

The best way to combat all the drips and leaks Geoff is to simply fit a nice new bath plug in to the floor
My truck is like a cullender and thats why I have a full floor rubber mat instead of girlie carpet!
Works for me.
