WAAAAHHHHHH - I hate waiting, I want it NOW! 

I don't see any Vietnam made bumper company listed. You lost me. Where did you order these from?

Shelley says that looks much bettter. She said you should win best in show every year with those!

Please tell Shelley thanks for me, I always appreciate a second opinion.  Now I just have to figure a way to get Shelley as a judge at any show I enter.

If Charles brings her down for ZCON, I might be able to put her in as a judge for the People's Choice show.

Transition complete - we be shiny at both ends now .  That's my killer deal NOS JDM unit on the front that I stumbled across locally a couple of years ago.  It had been in a guy's garage attic for over 35 years (still in factory pkg.) and I just happened to spot his CL ad.  Yes, its a chrome unit but it will take a sharp eye to distinguish it from the SS unit on the rear.  BTW - I paint the license brackets black to avoid a Ollie-the-dragon snaggletooth look - from farther away they disappear into the grill.

Guy - thanks, pics of the rear are on page 2.

Well then, how about 6 or 7 of the car from different angles to see the finished product!    ?

I really like the change. Super nice before but that really sets it off. More awards in Atlanta for sure.

Cliff, thanks for the kind words.  With the big win in Memphis, ZCCA "retired" my car from eligibility in future judged competitions.  I can still enter peoples' choice events and "exhibit" the car at a judged show.  That and parade laps at Road Atlanta are enticing but overall not an adequate justification for an 800 mile tow from Dallas.  We plan to make the trip but will have to be content cheering on other worthy entries.  Looking forward to Z'ing you and other good friends at the big show.

P.S. - Branson is a much more reasonable tow in 2019!!!

I'm driving my Camry and would be more than happy to shuttle you guys from Hartsfield. A fore warning though, getting out of there takes longer than the flight.  I'm hoping some of y'all will arrive at close times and get a shuttle or double up on cab fare. The  airport is a good ways away from the hotel.

We have just begun the fun part, planning!  I can't wait and desperately need a few days days with like thinking friends. I am surrounded by idyuts.
