Default Re: 1 of 108 69 Convertible Judges

A couple of things: not so much from this forum but a couple of others following it.

First this is a supposed to be a hobby, not a business. Right? I know the answer to that; I’m being sarcastic because I don’t like what this hobby has turned into.

What is was and what it should be was that someone saw a car they wanted to have and bought it; they fixed it up to enjoy both as they envisioned it and the challenge of getting it there. But the opportunist have turned this hobby into the complete opposite; which is why most people now look at a car like this for what it’s worth instead of what it should be, “can I have fun with this car”.

Second; this car is not in that bad a shape! It doesn’t need a trunk pan, probably only needs minor patch panels on the qtr’s, one floor pan patch, and the frame is probably close to perfect! Lest we forget this is an untouched convertible that is 43 years old [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]
