Very nice :thumbup: Let me guess, probably the cleanest car you've started with :lol: Matt's car has always been a subject of fap.

j/w, are those twin spot lamps using standard bulbs? I have a similar set and you can't get within 3 feet of them before they make you sweat out all your bodily fluids. They were pretty miserable to use when I was in that same garage unit :lol:

The cleanest car in MM is now even cleaner. Big Grin

Looking forward to seeing it at the show, looks like some of the stuff under the hood is different since I last saw it.

Hahah yes It was pretty easy to begin polishing on it- took the car from a 9.5 to perfection, seriously doubt it came from the factory as clean as it is now.

As for the lamps- Matt could probably answer, i'm just the detail guy haha

I just remember that garage getting approx. 148┬░F when I had mine turned on. I'd have to imagine it'd be no bueno during a multi-hour detail

Goodspeed is asking about your drop lights. And yes I have been there when they are on and they get pretty fucking hot.

I can also verify. I used DJ's to keep me warm when I did my header job. :lol:

Massive brain fart attack earlier- had a long night at capitol ale Wink

Yes- they do get massively HOT- two 500 watts- just installed two twin bulb T8 ballasts in el garaje however which make it daylight in there- looking soon to put one or two more of them in- then you could perform surgery in the garage.

Now that I have them I can keep the halogen lights away from me and keep my innocent legs from gettin soldered every now and then.

Yet to hit 90 degree weather around here and also be working in the garage so..... probably going to be buying a large fan sometime soon.
