I just haven't taken the time. I have 30 miles on my dent this year so far.

And I took my BII to get it inspected.

Since mid-December, I've put less than 30 miles on Red too...but that's more or less because of the P/A system being fubar'd.

Since the middle of January, I've put maybe 100 miles on the Bronco.

Thunder hasn't moved in a year and half, hoping to swap that engine out or rebuild it by August though. I have the spare motor in waiting, just have to find the time.

I drive it every chance I get, which, like you fellas, isn't much. Last year, going to 6 car shows ( 2 1sts and 4 2nds :) ), I only put 1100 miles on it all last year and its still more than you fellas. This year? Probably only 30 in town and that one trip we took to the coast (about 250 miles r/t).

Ken I'm glad it worked for you finally. I wouldn't have used paint thinner because it can leave a residue. Acetone won't, it's used for all types of resin and epoxy prep cleaning. I keep it here by the gallon along with lacquer thinner , the next best thing to nothing for cleaning .

So, now I'm worried, I'm going to get in one day and find the mirror on the dash or the floor because it fell out over night.....did I mess it up? Or do you think I'm all set with what I did.

I went through the same type of mess until I discovered "the special glue". The stuff I use is just the carquest brand from the local parts house, never had any of them fall off since. You should be fine.
