ive been a member for about a week but i love this olds 98..it just has a few carb issues that i have to be patient about....but i DID put new pictures of the car in my album....the car looks much better than the older pics when the car was jsut fresh out of storeage...let me know what you all think of the car and its looks.....thanks!!!

 

I LIKE it!!
Nice photos. Looks like you're having fun on your first drive. BTW, if you're looking for something to clean those white walls really white, try some ZEP orange cleaner. Spray on, scrub lightly and rinse. For the tires, I use Back to Black - really makes the wheels and tires pop!

Really cool looking car. The interior looks amazing!

 

thanks!! Allen R!.......is anyone on here from the northern part of Ohio???? I could really use a little help with the carb..issues that im enduring...?

 

Nice car.

 

Welcome to our site fellow Buckeye! Where are you located??

 

Lookin' good! Think your profile says you're a pro detailer? This car ought to be good advertising for you, for fluorescent tube reflections to show up in black the way they're doing.

Just keep learning about this car. I think you'll enjoy it immensely once the kinks are worked out.

 

Im from the sandusky area in ohio.... ya I work a Detailing shop out of my house.... Love making cars beautiful!!

 

everyone probly knows ive been having carb issues with this car but today i bought a carb adapter for the summit carb i had and i got everything hooked up after a little (fabrication) for the linkage...but wow does it run great now... like REALY good... but i just have to find a air cleaner that fits under the hood since i lost 3/4 inch of clearence with the adapter.... But wow am i so happy to have this car running like a champ!!!

 

Welcome aboard

Sorry but I our in resident Buckeye [Sandy] has used up the quota on complaining about Ohio winters.

 

dont worrie i love winters when they arent to bad... its a great time to work on project cars!!!!!!

 

Jamesbo...... you're bein a sh*t!!!!! I do hate the winter and I vent alot about the snow and ice, lol!! So tell me fellow buckeye detailer..... why would my quick detailer be looking all smeary all of a sudden on Teepos hood when I wipe it off?? I haven't changed anything, and she hasn't had a coat of wax since spring.... just curious as to what could be going on! I like to keep her shiny!

 

well it could be that there is oils on the cars paint... or too much soap still.... barly use any soap when you wash the car... some ppl wash cars with no soap since it can build up on the paint... also mabey the stuff wasnt dry because of humidity.... just a few guesses.. Have you heard of a Clay Bar?? They work wonders if the paint dosent take wax well... the concept of the clay bar is it removes all contaminates from the paint... old wax, oils, and soap...exc.. After you use the bar, wax the car.
One tip is dont use spray wax...Use rub on wax too for the sake that the solvents in the wax gets rubbed in when you rub it with a pad, so it somewhat cleans the paint as you wax it. ALTHOUGH if you wax your car and it had alot of contaminates on it that you cant see, when you wax it, you are literly sealing those contaminites under the wax....
