Put my car in a car show yesterday... Was not as fun as I thought it would be

"Well, I am going to make mine look nicer". and then they went over and got into their 2012 sedan and drove off into the sunset! Don't let that bother you, there is a good chance they didn't know what they were looking at. From the pic you posted you have a car to be proud of, most people have not a clue about how much work it takes to get a classic to that point. I have a 72 Demon 340 that I feel is very clean, Most people at shows feel the same way but you have a few that just have to make a comment like "what is that mark over there" or "My cousins neighbors friend has one of these but it's nicer than yours". You did the right thing by ignoring the comment. Be PROUD of your car you have every right too it's a classic! Remember every one of our cars is a " Work in Progress".
