Before the car show I replaced the grill on Baby. It was damaged a while back when someone pushed my driving lights back into the grill. Damaged the grill and the driving lights. I got the grill from Victoria British. They were the first to get them in stock. Been backordered at almost all dealers in the States. Quality was OK. Badge was the flat style so I replaced it with the more correct raised style. I got the badge from NOS Locators on eBay. The fitment was typical of aftermarket grills. I definately had to work with it awhile. It will have to do until/if I can locate an NOS one.

Went to a local car show at Douthat State Park this past weekend. First show I've had Baby out to this year. The Park is a beautiful setting. Baby was the only LBC there, but I had a lot of people come up and tell me about the LBC they had years ago. Fun day. The second picture is Baby down by the lake, it was taken last year but I wanted you to see the lake in the Park.

Bought a set of rear window louvers from Dave Kalb (mgbtf). These were aftermarket items you could get for GT's back in the day. I think they will look great on the '67 GT. Will definately help with cooling in the rear and also slow down the fading of the rear carpet.

I had them on my 76 Firebird "back in the day", they were great.

Finally got down today and put new tires on the wheels I got from Joemamma. Think they look pretty good. Got 185-65-14's. Probably should have went with 70 series like on the roadster but we'll see how these do.

Was very fortunate to find a grille for the GT. posted a WTB ad in the trader and Experience member Bill Kiger responded. He had a new grille which had never been installed. Got it for a great price and Bill said it is on the way. That is one big score as most vendors are back ordered with no date for restock. I was beginning to get worried that the GT would be sitting waiting for the grille. Now it is onward and upward on the resto. A big thank you out to Bill.
