This is right on the Money .
I had the judge tell me to spray paint my OG painted wheels to make them "pop" but then told me that fixing the OG drivers seat that was splitting and not replace it ???
Then I see another 65 who had a really nice clean paint job with all kinds of chit wrong (marker lights from the wrong year , missing all kinds of easy cheap small stuff things that should have been raw were painted and stuff that was painted the wrong color) to walk away with a trophy in the stock class ::)
I :-* my car looking like a nice 43year old surviver not some painted up half assed done car :P
I've found over the years that judging is all up to the judges. Since there is usually only one guy that will judge the type 3's , if he likes original cars, then original cars are going to win . The guy with the green 412 just has a nice original car. It's not great but it is nice.
Hell, when I first brought weezer to Englishtown, Jeff from CJVW gave me a third. But again, he likes stock original.
