Yikes... I saw pictures of Tyndall and that base was destroyed... I am glad you guys got out of it safe. Do you still do your magic on vintage harnesses?

Hey Randy!! Yes, I heard about Michael... So you got hit twice, right? And finally moved to a hurricane free area? I’d love to visit Tucson. I went to Phoenix once, but never to your new hometown.

Yep, that’s already the south. Beautiful area, les Hautes Alpes. I love going there. Did some mountain combat training over there, back in the day. Rough people too, as you seem to have found out.

Vic, No, I am stationed in Lyon, on the west side of the Alps. I was in Paris couple days ago and La Défense has incredibly grown since I was a kid. Soon it’ll look like Downtown Houston!

Morning y’all! Sorry I haven’t been posting of late. Been fairly busy since we’ve moved back home in 2015. Lots of work for those of us in the service. Bad guys ain’t afraid of viruses, you see... The car is going great. It now has 17.000 miles on the odometer, since it was restored back in 2014-15. Every time I get in it, I am privileged to feel like what I think they did, back in the day, when those were still available new on Ford sales lot. My wife and I are planning a road trip down the south of France in a couple weeks, for Easter. And that will be in the Mustang, of course. I am still in touch with my hot rodding friends from the Panhandle and visited them twice since we moved back. Always very happy to go back. A pic taken last fall in the Burgundy vineyard. G

I installed a Retrousound (Malibu model 2) in my 69 when I restored it back in 2014. To this day, it has worked amazingly. The hand free Bluetooth phone function is amazing. I can speak to people with my windows opened and they don’t hear the engine/exhaust (2”5 Flowmaster dual). The mike just pics my voice. Amazing... I love this product. Only downside: the installation is a little tricky if you want to really do it right and best integrate the unit in your interior. Once that’s done, it does look very stealth to the untrained eye. G

I found them on eBay. They ship to the US from various sellers, mostly located in the UK. Costs between $55 and $70 shipped for a box of 80 wipes. I usually use 5 wipes for a good cleaning. https://m.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_mwBanner=1&_nkw=vulcanet+cleaning&ul_ref=https%3A%2F%2Frover.ebay.com%2Frover%2F1%2F711-42618-2056-0%2F2%3Fmpre%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.ebay.com%252Fulk%252Fsch%252F%253F_nkw%253Dvulcanet%252520cleaning%26keyword%3Dvulcanet%2520cleaning%26crlp%3D278956708214_202%26MT_ID%3D69%26geo_id%3D10232%26rlsatarget%3Dkwd-150068428406%26adpos%3D1o1%26device%3Dm%26loc%3D9040890%26poi%3D2840%26abcId%3D473846%26treatment_id%3D7%26cmpgn%3D714491930%26sitelnk%3D%26gclid%3DEAIaIQobChMI-OD6sOL73wIVEFXTCh1Iaw3hEAMYASAAEgJLDvD_BwE%26srcrot%3D711-42618-2056-0%26rvr_id%3D1826879705737%26rvr_ts%3D6a0664ed1680a9cd2c431ddffffb7a56&ul_noapp=true

I was able to find a link for UK https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Cleaning-Kits/Vulcanet-motorcycle-cleaning-degreaser-protection/B0081RY8WA but it seems impossible to find in the US. That is certainly disappointing...

Something like “cleaning wipes”... It does work. I love it!

Fair enough! I changed the topic title. Lol

Hello fellow Mustang owners! Just a quick question: have you ever heard about these car/motorcycle cleaning wipes called Vulcanet? I ask this because I have personally been using them for a few years now, and also because it's proudly made in France by a French company. It originated circa 2008 with a group of bikers wanting to create a simpler yet more efficient concept for cleaning their motorcycles. People are crazy about that product now, bikes and cars alike, and this company has become very successful in Europe. I know I risk being banned from the forum (or from entering the United States on my next trip) for writing this, but I no longer wax my cars, since I started using it. I use it on my Ducati too. The result is amazing... There are multiple products in each wipe that will break tar, rubber tire compound, grease, gasoline residues, while taking care of clearcoat. No more clay bar for me, thank God. How is that even possible? I don't know, but it works. And at the same time, it leaves a residual coat of polymerised stuff after you wipe surfaces with their micro fiber (included in the box). Car shines better than new and stays clean longer. Works also on black plastics (with durable shine) and glass. It doesn't take more than an hour or so to do the whole car, so you can virtually do it after each ride. No water involved (unless the car is very dirty, of course). Works crazy under the hood as well. Takes a bit of motivation there to clean everywhere, but the result is incredible. Show car stuff. It ain't cheap, but you get what you pay for. Check out their website, it's pretty cool and funny. Even their logo is kinda cool! And by the way, I do not work for them... ;-) http://www.vulcanet.pro/auto-en/ G

Oh I see, I got confused then. Sorry about that. G

RPM, Is your motor in yet? Can you still easily access spark plug #8 with this solution? G

I just meant to close the loop on this event: 23 cars eventually attended. Only one 1970 Boss, no 69. Perfect weather for a perfect day. Tracking these cars is an absolute blast! Our next event is set for 22, 23 June 2019. G
