Look for a thread for a thread... the detailing section has fallen asleep
glad you had help and got it done....

BTW....on cables I usually like to use liquid graphite....doesn't gum up like the sprays lubricants can and do.....

Good deal John.

Got the truck cleaned up. Makes me feel better. Went to visit a friend this morning. He's just finished s 62 Corvette. Has. 66 Fastback, a 65 Mustang coupe and an 01 GT. He is like an artist. They are all great cars.
