At the time of the judging I didnt think to bring the assembly manual with me, but I had the original photos and showed them to anyone who wanted to see them. I just didnt want to be a "stagemother" by hanging around the judges and debating the issue with them. Having judged Mopars in the past I know how much grief it can be! These guys and gals are volunteers and deserve all the cudos I can give them.
Also, I didn't learn what the deduction was until I received the scoresheet later. The judging staff were extremely helpful in identifying the small things that were downright incorrect with the car (that I didnt even know about) like the muffler clamps, dist cap, air filter, horn brackets and horn relay (which were later corrected with parts hunting at Carlisle). I may bring it back next Summer with the items corrected (other than stripes) and see how it does. Thanks again
