    We do the mail thing also. They won’t send me anything without a completed smog test in the system though. The county also required a safety inspection. They just recently dropped that.

    It's American Graffiti weekend this week. It should be pretty good. They have car shows and drives down town that they do not allow normally. Should be fun, but it's mostly for American cars. Modesto is where they filmed the movie in 73. Their are a lot of hot rods and custom cars around here.

    The one thing I miss about California is the cars. No shortage of old tin running around.

    Four little French sparkplugs just showed up. Just what the doctor ordered for Skooby's little French, British, German engine. :)

    This actually happened last month but I haven't been posting much of late. Been busy motoring. Sorry guys. The car is still going pretty strong. I'm still getting up to 15 lbs boost on the 15% reduced pulley supercharger, without a rebuild. Oil inside still looks clean. [​IMG]

    Was looking around my detailing supplies today and boy I could start a business with what I have. I have at least 3 or 4 of every thing. I need to quit trying ever new thing that comes out when what I use works fine.

    Definitely some body imperfections. It seems GIR and I have been going one for one in that department. I will agree with you though, not bad for 17

    Are you using a ceramic coating or wax on Checkers?

    Ceramic. It looks better than any wax or polish I have ever used.
