Standard or to modify
« on: February 24, 2006, 11:09:56 PM »
HEY GUYS I HAVE TO ADMIT THAT TODAY WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT DAY OF MY VETTE VENTURE.
i WAS IN CHARGE TO JUDGE THIS BEAUTIFULL 66 VETTE WITH STEVE AND ANOTHER FELLA FROM TASMANIA.
WE WERE GIVEN THE TASK TO JUDGE THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR OF THIS CAR...UNFORTUNATELY I CANT REVEAL MUCH INFO IN TERMS OF SCORING BUT WILL REVEAL IT TO YOU NEXT WEEK

IT IS FACINATING WORLD THE NCRS...YOU LEARN SO MANY THINGS, YOU GET TO KNOW VIRTUALLY EVRYTHING  ABOUT THEM FROM THE TINIEST SCREW TOI TS BIGGEST PART...YOU EVEN LEARN HOW YOU CAN TELL WHETHER THE PAINT HAS A DEFECT OR NOT...OF COURSE I AM NOT EXPERIENCED FOR THAT BUT AN INTENSIVE ADVISE AND TIPS WERE GIVE MY MANY HELPFULL AMERICAN NCRS MEMEBERS

IT IS SIMPLY DEVINE!!!!

I take my hat off to those that do the orignal thing with the Vettes.  It has to be so much harder than modifying.  I would love to do one.

Anyone can maintain or restore a vehicle to the manufactures standard, it takes imagination to modify

to do either is a challenge,to restore these old cars is not as easy as you might think,you could have plenty of cash to spend(and you will spend it)the challenge is finding all the correct parts to make it factory correct,from the other side of the world makes for a daunting task for most.and as joe is finding out now these ncrs guys are fanatical about there homework on originality.not that is a bad thing just a wake up call to a lot of people with original cars,in other words do we modify,personalize or stay standard,in the ncrs world is their going to be this variation?will we combine the two or will we have two separate entitys?;26

nooooooo dont get it wrong..the ncrs guys respect the fact that evry vette owner has the right to modify their cars! on these bases we should respect their ethics and principles like they respect ours...seperate entity? come on glenn...as long it is about vettes then weare all 1 entity;27
