As far as the local shows I very much agree with this. I hate seeing obvious 'rich guy' cars win. Especially if its just an 'OK' car with an expensive paint job or a lot of bolt ons and chrome.
However, I do like to see those perfect restorations. I realize that most guys are not capable of doing that. So, if someone is willing to spend crazy money for perfection. They deserve to win. I would just like to see them win at a bigger show (where they usually have qualified judges ) and give some credit to the shop that did it. That said, it is unfortunate that many of those won't come out to participate in local shows if they don't think they will win.
Hopefully I will have my Duster done in the near future. I plan to take it to a few local shows. Would I like to win? Sure. Do I expect to win? Not really. But I dont need a trophy. A few nice compliments will be fine.
