What have you done to your XS today?

IMG_0624_zpsc284c942.jpg

This is a week after cut/buff last august. On Christmas eve, I noticed the clear was lifting. All the clear must be taken off, then re-cleared.
Ive had this car since 96. Drove away with wife on wedding day in 97.
289, 4bbl, full headers, shift kitted c4. 3.24 locker. Biult in Kansas, sold in seattle. Imthird owner. first owner died in Alaska fishing boat accident, his father took position, he owed a gardener 800$, gave him the car, I bought a month later. Technically, im 4th owner, but The gardener only had it a month. I bout it for 850$. Ran great, paint was original till last summer, all body work done be me and friend, shot in his garage. Lots of little dings. a lot straiter than it was then.
By the way, jake, if you are looking for a 65 falcon, there is on here in spanaway for 2500$. its at a used dealer, been sitting awhile, bet you could talk the guy down to 2000

is that 66 good looking car I had a 66 gt 390 4 speed car back in the 80's didn't knot what i had sold it cheep it was rust free interror was trashed it had been a race car most of it's life and I traided a 375 hp corvette 327 eng. and 300 bucks for it wish I could get a deal like the now
 
thats a beauty. love those lines. I need to wait till im out of school before i can go off and buy an old car. it will happen though i promise. Seems like prices are really high for cars right now. Not sure why, but ill wait for them to head back down again like they were a couple years ago. Some of these cars have been sitting on craigslist for 3 plus years.

I got some painting done before this cold weather hit. Now if it will warm up this week I can finish. Any ideas on a good rattle can clear that will work on the motor, I have some spray max 2k but I don't know if it will hold up to heat.

Got my crg mirror installed. But wanted something smaller. So I installed the small blind spot mirror. Looks way sleeker.


Damn bracket for my other pipe broke. Time for more zip ties. Hope I can get the guy to do my exhaust soon.
 
made a tach delete cap from an old Telecaster knob.

also worked on modifying my tach/speedo mount... cutting it up and raising it to center mount the speedo.
 
Wanted to do something simple, in the warm indoors. Fix the split/rotted front brake cable dust seal, accordion boot.
