I read this post and most of it doesn't make sense. But from what julio was saying i agree with. I've been in the scene long enough( not as long as them). But long enough and have done enough to learn. Just becuase your car has a decent paint job and wheels. Doesn't make it a show car.

I'm not going back to read exact words. but when giving and recieving advice. If you say you have a show car. Really look around and see what a show car is. Sure you biuld the car for you at first. but when you decide you are building a show car that changes the game. you don't just build it for you anymore. you biuld it for the judges and the change in the scene.

I learned four years ago. Went to my very first car show. 2000 Mercury Cougar. I rolled up to a show that IA was at and judging. I rolled in with about 20 minutes left in the show. Never being to one before. I walked around looked at the car about 40-50. Decided I was going to enter. Julio I believe actually did my registration. came over judged for about 5m. and left. awards were shortly after. I didn't get called. I was pissed off to no end. All I had was a bodykit,paint, and system. thought i was the **** until they handed me score sheet.

18 out of 100 total possible points.

So to all the noobs out there that say they have a show car. think again. Learn and listen to the people that were in the scene before you could even drive. Sacrfices need to be made to build a winning show car. There might be a part that you totally hate. But that might be the winning part that you need to put on the podium at the end of the night. Like other mentioned in the previous post. the guys went above and beyond and either were or still are in the top of the scene. not becuase they have kept there car totally there but. But have built a show. car.

My history for those that question my knowlege.
80 awards consisting of BOS, to interior to regular placings at local and national events.
For those that no me. they can atest. I built a Show car and can learn from critizism and listening to advice.
