To avoid this, when the experts are at shows they should keep their mouths shut and opinions to themselves and just appreciate the car for what it is, good workmanship, nice paint etc. I have been to many shows and have viewed many mistakes, I keep my mouth shut, you never know the guy or gal who owns it did the best they could with the cash they have and maybe they have a lot of money and no clue. At least they are out there and enjoying the hobby. Most experts that make comments have empty garages.

I say it's your car do what you want.

Those that have been stating that a Judge is just a Tempest. Well it was the top of the line option. Just like a Shelby is to a Mustang, a Chevelle SS is to a Malibu, a Hemi Road Runner to a Satellite or a Trans Am to a Firebird.

They are all cool, just enjoy them!!!

nicely put. i wish there were more who behaved like you.
