wash & wax

[stalkingbear]

Got the '65 washed today and started the waxing process. Since the painter pretty much stripped the wax off when he was doing his touchup stuff, it needed a good coat.

So I got the tailend, trunk, roof and hood done today. I found some water spots on the roof from when the painter rinsed the car when he had it. Great. I started doing a rubout on the spots and will be able to get them all off.

Then I polished the wheels and after dinner, went to Dairy Queen for some ice cream.

While we were there, a '64 convertible pulled in (owner of the DQ) and he unloaded a bunch of stuff from his car for the store. He never even noticed the '65 sitting by itself in the parking lot.

A guy was looking over the '64 and looked at us (we were by the window) and raised his eyebrows as if to ask, "Is this yours?"

I shook my head no but when we left, I walked by him and told him I wouldn't own such an old car. Then I pointed at the '65 and told him it was ours. He also had not noticed the '65 and really got excited at seeing two nice cars in the same parking lot.

The '64 had a plate that read, "427 64" so I would guess he had some horsepower under the hood. All in all, it was a fun trip.
