GTO Judging Standards Question
I have been reading the GTOAA rules on judging standards, being an NCRS member and Corvette restorer I have begun my first ever GTO frame up resto, a nice 66 hardtop. Wanting to do a stock resto, the guidelines are confusing, stating that restoration should be done as with unlimited time and resources by the production line worker ! In Vette land stock is stock, if it was blacked out, we black it out, rough is left rough. Doing my chassis and restoring each component back to original finishes according to my assembly guide, it seems with the frame upside down they are sprayed with a blackout paint while assembled prior to shock installation, gas and brake lines included. Is this correct? I am not concerned with wet sanding and buffing my control arms, just want a true original and correct look and good result if I decide to have the car judged with it being as close to real stock as possible. To me to restore a car means to restore it to stock as delivered condition, not show car standards for an Autorama. Any and all help is appreciated, thanks Ed
