I do plan on entering it for judging this year , I just parked in the Porsche Coral last year. This year I applied and was accepted to be in the Cars and Coffee even on Saturday as well.

Other than a local show or two, I've only had it to Okteenerfest.

What i'd like is some advice for prep and presentation from those that have done this for PCA or other venue, and just want to present the car well.

also for anyone that has seen my car, I am open to constructive advice on anyting that needs attention or better presentation. my car is very clean and was gone over pretty well in re-assembly BUT I did loose by one vote this year to another nice vehicle in our own little show at Okteenerfest (not that it matters) I know that is people's choice , not professional judging so when I look at my car and others I try and pay attention to small details that would really stand out to a critical eye.
My bumpers are perfect and spotless, pain is very very nice aside from 2 small chips that have to be touched up.
interior is almost completely spotless and new other than my original but very nice lower dash piece and the dash face material , but no cracks or tears, new top dash top pad, etc. my A-pillar's could use refreshing or replacement, but other than that its hard to think of anyting that needs to be done so that is why I need someone that has really looked at my car close to help with this. I can post some pictures for the masses that have not see the car. - one other issue is the fender wells. I think I do need to clean up some overspray under there and on the rear suspension parts.
Motor is as clean as it gets, it was all redone , every part was cleaned painted , powder coated or zinc plated. all new hoses and wires.

anyway thanks for the help!!!

Phil


- engine cover grill needs to be repainted, have some chipping off of that. ....

Phil...how's the car coming along?


Running, brakes fixed, collecting a few items , odds and ends , package of pieces coming from Bruce Stone, ordered new horns, a new left turn signal OEM NOS lense, will take front bumper off to put the cover up plates in, and re do the fog lights, I am getting the SPOKE LED conversion- I have to send him the housing , then re do the targa bar vinyl.
Hope to have all that done before Dec 7 for local charity car show at Habersham in Beaufort.

Gone to MN now, unfortunately my brother-in-law passed away last week(the one that had the ‘73 ‘Vette.) be home Wednesday night so will be working on the car Saturday.
It’s running good.
Other thing I want to do is clean up the wheel wells and some overspray in the rear suspension
