Title: This is probably why some guys call me Dr. Detail...

Hey Guys,

This is probably why some guys call me Dr. Detail.  I just installed new cupper bolds to fiks my dynomax exhaust to my S&S muffler.  I handpolished them first ;D

But actually, there is only one Dr. Detail and that is Frenchy off course.

I'm slowly getting ready to hit to the Deluxe edition of the Freddy Files in Ninov Belgium.  Hope to see you there too, with your callook ride.

That's cool, Phillip.

I worked on the same thing on my car a few weeks ago ... polished the stainless fasteners chosen and all, applied anti-sieze, but once I had it mounted I had to take everything apart again and repaint the muffler and repolish the coating on the header ... that snowballed into a complete engine detail including some paint touch-up where a wrench used to turn the generator/engine scratched the crap out of the apron! CRAP!
There goes a perfectly good day. ;)

My friend replaces all nuts and bolts with stainless versions, he then proceeds to polish them smooth so no manufacturers name is visible.  A bit OTT for me.

I allways like it, when I go to a show and I notice something that the owner of a car has detailled on his car, sometimes on places that aren't easy to see.  I'm sure not everybody notice these details, but I'm always happy that I do.
