I applied a one-step porcelain coating to Mrs. Peel. It's Aero Flight Shield, it's only $29.99 for a small bottle, and a typical consumer can use it if the prep work is properly done.

The paint surface is like a mirror, now. Look at the right rear fender in the photo and focus on the reflection of the trees. It works very well. And Mrs. Peel is impressively shiny now.

Don't forget to cover the license plate of the Ford.

I was feeling the need for more horsepower, so I installed stripes and replaced a window regulator. Took her our for a short drive in the rain after I installed the stripes, couldn't really feel any increase in horsepower. BUT, that new window regulator seems to have really improved the handling!!!

If I were you I'd get a refund on those stripes! Stripes ALWAYS give you more noticeable horsepower! Those are obviously defective!

I'm just happy to see that he apparently keeps it in the family room.
