Any recommendations on polishers? ... View more

I also enjoy detailing my toys. Relaxing and stretching while listening to some tunes. I would appreciate some feedback on polishers. Speed? Orbital or not? Different types for automotive vs marine? Pad type? I am mainly concerned with slight imperfections or paint correction. The vehicles are all base color with clear coat. Oldest is 2009 Bullitt. Thanks! ... View more

Where is the banner with the fifth generation (S197)? Looks like a stop I will be making soon! ... View more

We have all seen variations from what we believe to be correct. Example - Baltimore City has a Black 1957 Ford 2 door sedan. I think it was a plain 300 business sedan. When I asked about it I was told the Chief at the time used it for parades. The young technician did not share my enthusiasm. Apparently the new guys are not familiar with or have the desire to work on older units. ... View more

I believe you missed the point of the movie. Being a commercial hazmat tanker driver I have a different perspective. I try to be courteous and stay in the designated truck lanes. It amazes me how many people have the need to be in front of me only to slow down. The movie was about a truck driver tired of an inconsiderate driver. Bullitt - it’s a sequel, not a remake. Big difference. I do have a 2009 Bullitt so I may be biased on that one. ... View more

Always liked that color! First car was Willowmist green metallic (GM). Current fun car is Highland Green. ... View more

Grew up around cars and trucks. First car at 15 (71 Buick GS). Worked to support that build. Started as a fuel transfer technician (pumped gas). Moved to a tire shop and worked my way into managing the store. Managed multiple tire and service chain stores. Learned the auto parts business and tried that for a while. Moved into the environmental recovery business servicing primarily the automotive sector. Today I drive a tanker and recover used oil, and used antifreeze. Fun job around cars and and car people all the time. The never mentioned all the possibilities while attending trade school. Good article that made me smile! ... View more

All good answers. I do own a 2009 Bullitt (Highland Green). Would watch that movie with my dad before you could rewind. Good memories. Wish we could have taken it for a ride together. One I don’t see mentioned is The California Kid. I believe that car inspired the ZZ Top Eliminator. ... View more

The younger generations need to see how customs were unique. Parts from other models (Corvair lights) incorporated into the build. Friends added special touches (woodwork). Now we develop a build plan and order the parts we want. Custom paint showing it’s age? When was the last time you saw flake like that. Brings back memories and a tear to my eye. Drive it! Enjoy the history. Great story. Thank you for preserving it as is. ... View more

I work in the environmental recovery business. We use absorbent material of various types daily for maintenance and spill cleanup. There is an oil only product that I use instead of cardboard. These pads are available in various sizes and make cleanup simple. No extra dust or stay dry to clean up. They last until completely saturated. Work great for those minor drips and weeping seals also. ... View more

I have 2 1970 CT70’s. One KO and one HKO. Tagged and HAGERTY insurance! Good for fun rides in the neighborhood. Stock they about 35mph with my 220lbs. They make everyone smile. Many thumbs up and offers to buy. Some may be smiling because as my wife says “you look ridiculous!”  ... View more

The Bullitt has minimal emblems. The only ones visible are one on the rear and steering wheel. It’s suppose to have the minimalist look. No running horse badges other than the wheel center caps. No fog lights or spoiler. I personally am a fan of the original 1968 Highland green color. Part of the fun is most do not know what it is. Yes I do have one. I also like the idea of the Mach 1 making a comeback. ... View more
