Don't touch that car! Furthermore, if the "rust" comment came from a judge, Mr. Ashton needs to correct that train of thought. Judging from input on this particular thread, shows that venues of signifigant awards need to create some separation for original cars. As mentioned before, all the little chalk marks, paint dabs, and small details of a car NEED to be preserved. If you have not figured it out, I am a huge fan of original cars. Charlie's new car is something not many are going to live up to. If Charlie's car is the determining factor if you keep your car original (or parts of it) vs. restoring it.........we are going to wreck a lot of good references!

Keeping even a certain section such as engine compartment, chassis, interior, or exterior orignal helps everyone... I personally love to look at the orignal paint cars... there is something about the way the lead was done the grind marks the lacquer checks... it is great to look at... the translucence and surface qualities of the old lacquer are not duplicated...
