Well actually, you guys are pretty tame compared to the Corvette crew. I had a resto-rod Vette that I showed at the Chevy VetteFest event for a few years and I watched the points car judging which is really intense and a little on the anal retentive side ( ok a lot on the AR side. ).
Right now my GP is a Concours - Day 2 car, I am trying to decide if I want to go all the way with it and return it to bone stock for next years POCI meeting.
With the Vettes and to a lesser degree the GTOs & TAs there is so much documentation that it is "easier" to know how to do the restore correctly. One of the challenges to doing a big car is trying to find what is actually correct. Case in point, the carpet, over or under the seat tracks? But for me that is what makes it more fun to try and do this.
The real important thing is to enjoy your car whatever you do with it. When I took it to the show in Milwaukee the drive up there and back was as much fun as the show itself!
Best, -Harry
