We had yet another 100+ Deg. day today, I think we have had 50 to 60 of them so far this summer. It hasn't stopped me from working on my TC, but I go through a couple of gallon jugs of water in 4 or 5 hours. I just about got all the old yellowing clear coat off the snowflakes. Still working on some corrosion spots but they are looking a lot better. I washed, waxed and did some detailing on it this afternoon, took some photos, link below. The sun was very, very bright and the car is very, very black, so it was messing with my camera's auto exposure control a little. Next time I will try it on an overcast day, won't be so contrasty.

Looks great. I understand about 100 deg days. Lots of water. I call it the Texas weight loss program, just go outside and do anything and you will lose weight!!!! ha ha.

Great looking car. We had heat here yesterday. It was around 90* and 90% and I downed a lot of water too.
