Thanks for all the input guys - I'll have to see what Kalifornia DMV says although I’ll probably just do a bit more fine touch-up on what I’ve got and put a clear coat on the entire thing and a nice polished frame with s/s hardware.
The Governator talks a great line about supporting all the after-market businesses and old school enthusiasts out here, but I know full well the State Legislators want anything over 10 years old removed from the highways of the Golden State. He’s famous for having as many faces as any current situation requires.
