    Best thing about this approach is --- after 6 months of actually driving the car . . . everything 'll look like this anyway . . .

    And besides --- saving on a plating bill leaves some more Hard Earned for other 'goodies'

    Thanks so much for the compliments guys. I really plan on driving it regularly so I though this was the best approach. It was hard to ask Aaron at Burn bros. not to re-plate everything on the throttle bodies, as he does such beautiful work. $2k in throttle body work, and they look plain Jane, but that's how I like it. Happy thanksgiving to you all..Cheers

    Small progress. Got the oil tank back from Pacific Oil Cooler service, gathered all the misc parts and installed it back into the 68.
