Default Re: Restamping blocks??????????????

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: mr 707</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> The ncrs in my opinion got really soft in the early 90s. all those fake trim tags(( about 1990)) were showing up because buyers wanted desireable colors and they were passing them with flying colors. Reds and blacks started showing up like crazy at every show. The block stamping really showed up in 1989 in corvettes when a magazine article came out for the 435 to go to 100,000. </div></div>

NCRS has gotten really good at picking out these old fake tags at the national level. Cars show up...they take picture of tags....go to the computer for comparison....come back out on the field and tell the entrant that they are sorry that they can't judge his/her car. Also, their pad stamp data base is huge. Partial points credit for correct part numbers and cast dates has been a good thing. IMO - MCACN judging should adopt partial points in all classes for correct part numbers and cast dates - lets a lot more people try for gold. It's no secret on this site that very few muscle cars have all 3 original drive train components.
