Is your caprice dirty?

[evildragon]

You can ID my car easily by the Apple logo on the back, and racing flags on both sides (as sorta seen in the sig) on the front next to the wheel well.

By the way, I finally cleaned my interior.

As I look at your sig, I see it wasn't you. Similar rims, same color, but no flags or Apple logo. I think it also had the half wheel well in the back too, also unlike yours.

Mike, those Buick Rims really look at home on your Caprice!... I'm thinking of putting cragars on mine, right now Ive got the chrome caps like in Pete's signature.

As for my car's cleanliness - since the paint job, I keep the exterior clean, but the interior is a state, I stripped it ALL (except for the dash) this past weekend and met a big crunchy rusty hole in the rear passenger footwell - successive leaks from botchy patches in the roof where some kind of taxi accessory was. Well the floor is now patch welded, sanded and coated in a layer of underbody spray. Going on the hunt for some nice leather seats on the weekend while I have everything out.

Thanks, yeah i just gotta try and restore them a bit more, i can get them to shine good like in my signature, but i wanna make them look new, i gotta find some centercaps too. hey pete i meant to ask where did you get that BIG chevy bowtie decal for the back window?

[PeteA216]

Wow, how can you tell I have that big ol' bowtie back there just from my signature picture? Anyway I got it from a sale here in upstate NY know as the dome sale where a bunch of retailers all get together and get rid of all thier old stock, a similar setup to a flea market. I can't remember the retailer's name, I got the vinyl sticker a good 4 or 5 years ago. Thats about how long they last too, mine just a few weeks ago started to peel and get dirt behind it, so I took it off. It's strange seeing it now because at night when you look in the rear view mirror when the light hits it just right you can see the ghostly shadow where it used to be. A good scrubbing will fix that right up.

[mike561]

i actually remember seeing it in that video you did when you did that long brakestand lol

[PeteA216]

Ohhhh that's right. You mean this one: Chevy Caprice Classic Burnout

BTW: It's good ta see the threads are working again.

[mike561]

ah yeah i know i thought it was just my computer

thats funny cause we both have the same car and i always keep mine clean and armor the dash too. right now i'm using an apple crisp air freshener in mine lol

[mike561]

I ussualy get the strawberry, i dunno why but the armorall always dries up quick on my dash, i think its because its fake leather they re-did it with or something

My Caprice is slightly dirty again inside.

got a new GPS system (Navigon 2100), and the box, manuals, and bag are in the backseat.

Cool little thing..

"You have arrived at your destination. Your destination is on your left."

nice..

[mike561]

My dad's got one of those, theyre pretty cool. i was thinking of getting one myself, im also probably gonna be upgrading my sound system soon too, get some boom in that big trunk

[evildragon]

I already got a custom sound system.

Ratshack has the 2100 GPS on sale for $149

[PeteA216]

Yeah them GPS's are handy little things, they can really cause dependancy though. As for a bass system, I've noticed that for the true best results, you gotta build a custom shaped tuned and vented enclosure just because the trunk is so big a generic/universal enclosure doesn't perform as well as one specifically designed for these cars. You has to see the scap paper I was going through with the calculations for the enclosure frequency tuning and driver placement.
