I don’t think they have the correct size anymore. 11x17?

The guy judging did look like a “millennial” barely out of nappies (diapers) so perhaps doesn’t appreciate or understand the level of detail in our coupes...Hi Mal,
Very odd judging this year, even with new paint and hours of polish and wax I only managed 7/10, same with the interior, new carpet new head lining several leatherique treatments again only 7/10 and this after ‘ best in show’ last year....., now I like an e30 as much as the next guy but in terms of detail it’s a ten minute wash and wax, possibly won’t bother next year.
Yeah I know it sounds a bit like sour grapes but there’s a LOT more work getting a coupe sparkling than any modern.
I will give you my 2 cents on aluminum, having had all the trim on the car done (at Speedway) and working on several motorcycles myself

just curious why you would chrome plate the springs and not zinc? did you put a spreader in them when they were plated?
I will give you my 2 cents on aluminum, ....I have been advised that anodize can turn out blotchy
