Is anyone else "touchy" about their Mopar? (long rant...)

Last year I took my 66 Valiant "race car" to a very large Mopar show in Florida. Entered "early "A" body modified" class. I only have about $2500 in the car. It is far from a show car. I only show it, because it is different, being a nitroused slant six race car. I was supprised, when I received a 4th place trophy, voted by the other entries in my class. They voted for my car, "because it was different, and a Hot Rod".
