Sorry to hear your Monte wasn't good enough friends with the judges to win anything. I'm certain your car is nice enough to get an award at most any car shows.

I finda lot of car events I attend that I take my '86 LS Monte to, people tend to walk on past versus look my car over. Only a small percentage of the public will stop and look. They must be true Monte lovers & owners if they do?

 

Hi Jen!
Nice to see ya on the boards again. We missed ya.
Sorry to hear about the judges results. I hate it when people play politics (car show politics in this case) like that.

 

 

I don't do well in participant judging but win almost every judged show I enter in my area, judges are pretty honest where I live.

 

Could you send a couple of these judges to my area for some judging seminars?

 

yeah send them here, im still fuming that that boy with the dirty stock camaro with enuf dust on it to write a paragraph on the hood beat me in that 1 show, so yeah if u know honest judges SEND EM lol

and jen d00dette screw them they wouldnt know class if it bit them on the bootay

 

thanx everyone..lol i would love to see the honest judges..lol i just get downhearted when i put so much time an money in this car an then someone that has a stock vehicle wins an they have nothin done to it an dont even take the time to wipe it off during the show cause they kno automatically they are winning..shewwwwwwwww it just gets on my nerves..lol i just had to rant an rave to someone ..lol just to my good ole' forum buddies..

 

Guy I know owned a '32 Furd coupe. Bright red, Hemi with a blower and 2x4s on top. Thecoupe is pretty nice and then some.

We were at a show once and this guy shows up in a mid-60s Buick. This car had primer on both quarters. It wasn't even finished painted. And the owner was buds with the people hosting the show.
He took home "Best Of Show."

It pissed my friend with the Furd coupe off so bad he never went back to this show.
