My car would kick butt in that class. The hotrodders have such a class -- beaters! I've been to a big national that ran one, it was kinda fun. Some of them are junkers you get to laugh at, but there's also the mechanically solid but ug-lee ones that are pretty admirable, cars that have been in use since new, maintained but never restored, crap interiors and paint but nice brakes and solid engines, that sort of thing. ----------------------------------------------------- yEaH! Q-Ships ! I ran my 1950 Hudson - stuffed full of a 392 Chrysler - stock hubcaps ! Qs' were popular at the end of the 1960s since no one running them had to put up with the Insurance Premiums & you could win some cash by not opening your hood on GrudgeNite. You had to be smart & not run a total Roach since you'd be picked off - but a mundane worn out commuter shell worked well - Chock Full O'Muscle........... As to Judging and the Tone of Discussions : having the NON-AMC ENGINED car owners wear Yellow Engine Profile Badges with their names on them seems the Sentiment. >From over half the readings thus far - not being banned from the main AMC field is as far as 'Attitude Accomodating' the Kustom Kamp is going to be shown. With that said - any AMC I meet attended - will NOT have my car in ANY judging whatsoever - as the card under the wiper blade will advise as much. Not a big deal in any sense - just MY Statement of those with 'Penalty Point Interests'. Brien. NEW YORK eagle registry #501 eagle kammback registry
