I spent the better part of Thursday and Friday down at the Portland swap, but made the mistake of wasting part of one day at the expo center. Scored some good deals at PIR this year though - and got plenty of sun!

In the process of restoring my 62 tripower air cleaner. Blasted down to bare metal and working from there. Had a few pin holes in the top that I will have to repair.

Other than changing the oil for the driving season, I decided to mount my rattle can restored original dealership license plate frame. Almost all the chrome was peeled off of the frame, So I looked and found an old rattle can of "Bumper Chrome" and decided to give it a shot. I think it turned out OK, Compared to the price having it recrhomed.

Went to start the 67 GTO and all I heard was the dreaded "click." A quick check showed the battery was fully charged, all cables tight...and the voltage doesn't drop when it clicks.....guess further evaluation is going to be required.
