Judging scores Has anyone EVER had 1000/1000?
 

Has anyone ever had a perfect judging score on a restoration or survivor car? MCACN, Legends, NCRS, Chevy Vettefest?

Just curious since that gorgeous L78 Nova in the classifieds lost one point for who knows what.

last year at MCAN??..red? charger??..I think I remember it scoring the first 1000 pt score

We had a few cars score 1000 at VetteFest only to be told that the head judge would never allow a perfect score in a 1000 point event. So one point would have to be deducted. One time it was for a leaf that blew into the fan shroud...stupid stuff like that. Since the show has changed to MCACN, we have never had a car judged again...BKH

"only to be told that the head judge would never allow a perfect score in a 1000 point event."

I am sorry, but that is just asinine.

As far as newly restored cars go,I understand Brians' stand on this,but I also understand a judge.
Leaf in fan shroud aside,you can always find something incorrect/questionable on a restored car.
Too many people & plants built these,and at various time frames,so opinions differ,that's just natural.

If it were possible to go back in time, bring a 69 Camaro off the line and trailer it straight to a judged event, I have no doubt the car would score less than many of the over the top restorations.
They just were not that good.

Wasn't there one from years ago that got a deduction for dust on the subframe? Really? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

We got a point taken for a fingerprint on the valve cover.., and one time dust on the trunk hinge. No BS..

I have been nicked many times for dust in or on a car. Fortunately I am not there to see how high a score I can get and am not going to go over a car with a fine tooth comb just for bragging rights. Judge it for what it is. Personally, I take a point deduction for dust as a compliment. Just means they couldn't find anything else.

While in the Gold Class @ Super Chevy Rt. 66 here in 1998,the judge gigged me 1 pt. for a lose lug nut.
The other 4 were tight,but he could hand turn this one lug nut.

I laughed &amp; thanked him for letting me know and asked if he ever worked the pits @ the Indy 500.

...and the old NCOA judging sheets.There's some strange deductions on those too.

1 point deduct for plier jaw marks on window fuzzy fastener.

Re: Judging scores Has anyone EVER had 1000/1000?
 

One point deducted on my 67 Z for the T3 headlights &quot;T&quot; top bar not being exactly parallel with the ground.

Re: Judging scores Has anyone EVER had 1000/1000?
 

Despite Charley's 70 Z leaving the factory like this, I can almost guarantee all of the following get deductions:

Poor paint coverage on the tail panel (my 69 was the same way).

Crappy nose fit.

Trunk weatherstip glue all over.

Trim screw installed 2/3 of the way in.

And a few more.
