I agree with Keith here--I have been asked to judge cars at shows as a
participant and am always at a loss to judge one great car against another.
Two things I like to know, and use prolifically to judge a car in my most
amateruish way: First, I look at the tires and the pedals to determine if it
is a driver. I give drivers higher points than trailer queens. Secondly, I
like to know whether the work was done by the owner or whether he/she had big
bucks and paid someone else to deliver a perfect specimen to them. Trailer
Queens and hiring work out are great, and I wouldnt criticize either, but it
just seems to be a premium if you drive one you built yourself.
Flame shield in place!!!!!
