Yvw Tad!

You know I havent done a show with my car since right around 1999..
I wonder if it would be a waste of time and effort to also bring trophys I won back then along with some of the dash plaques?

Along with a few other goodies?
Or would that be like pressing the issue of a before and after effect?
Since it definately doesnt look like she use to. Shes accumulated way to many little dents dings from over the years...like car dings, hail, etc lol.
But I definately wanna make a decent showing with what she truly is...
Maybe they have a daily driver award?...

This matter of bringing past thropies to a car show has always been a matter of debate. Personally, I leave mine at home

Maybe take em and see what everyone else is doing? You can always leave them in the room if you decide not to.

Ive considered that option for sure Tad...
Im just not so sure I can get it back to somewhat show worthy by then.(It definately need some paint work) Especially the hood...and Im sure covering it with a Bra at showtime wont be very impressive...
Maybe I will just hangout and root for everyone to make good showing. and Not enter mine...
But thanks for the input Tad!

I agree with you Tadd - I NEVER take any previous awards to other car shows - even the National shows I have entered and won (2 Chevyvettfests, 1 MCACN show, 1 NMCOA show). When I am judging cars (I help judge at the local car shows) I pretty much ignore them - and if the trunk or backseat is loaded with them I actually take point off because I can't see what's underneath them - they could be hiding dirt and such.

Good luck! Yours is one of my favorite Montes on this forum. Definitely deserving of a gold class win!
