The front engine Pull Bracket looks Orange from here.

It's funny how once you assemble a bunch of cars all under one roof,(VetteFest),their details seem to all overlap and blur somewhat.You Overload on them.
But take any one of those cars,and show it seperately,as Dennis H. has here,and you are more able to notice it's intricate details that make it so outstanding/interesting.

For this reason I would hate to be a VetteFest or anyother Carshow Judge.They found things wrong on my Chevelle that I didn't know about,and did not see the things that I know needed attention.
My Judging sheet came back with 996,but they tookoff for menial things like Dust in Door Jambs and trunk latch.I guess they have to Draw the line somewhere.
Then award my Chevelle a Top Gun as well as Gold Spinner????

I wouldn't keep my Car home from any CarShow because of the Judges.I am not about the awards,I go to meet the friendly people and interesting oddities/facts they discuss and that show up.A Code 43 Citrus Green 1970 LS-6 Chevelle! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/cool.gif[/img]

Once they do the dust in door latch and stuff like that you can pretty well be sure you have a hell of a car !!!

Rick-Good eye on the lift brackets. They are orange and from a small block. The back bolt hole didn't even line up with the bolts on the intake. I imagine it was used as a temporary lift to remove the engine from the 57 chevy which it was purchased out of.
BTW...I heard three of the 68 Gibb Novas have sold in the last couple of weeks. Congrats to the new owners !!!!
One will be street driven in Marietta Georgia...???

Re: 69 copo
 

gone for the weekend , glad things turned out positive!!! bob i hear you have some nice velles. i talked to the judge on mine after he judged it when chuck owned it and he said he had to find something to deduct for because the car was so nice. the 3 points he took off were for a ding in the driveshaft i've yet, to this day, [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smirk.gif[/img] to be able to find. he told me this at the supercar reunion!
what a happy ending, the way it is supposed to be! no offense taken!

Re: 69 copo
 

Yeah thats the same thing I heard after they judged my Belair...I could have showed them a couple legit things but they dinged me for a small scratch on the top of the frame that needed a mirror to see. When the car is that nice it usually comes down to cleanliness.Vettefest judging for anything but Corvettes seem to be a little loose.It was an experience anyway...don't recall trying to offend you but glad none was taken.

All I can say is stick to Judging cars,because your judgement regarding football <font color="green">teams </font color> is questionable,at best [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
