Re: ZL 1 #36
Remember boy's.....a restoration is not about what is liked or not liked....It is about what it was.PERIOD.There are a lot of things that are not pretty... in fact very ugly...about the way GM or any other company made these cars.A restoration will include these things....a CUSTOM car or MODIFIED car will not.....understand? Apples and oranges.....A restoration is not the flavor of the day....unless it's "the" day the car was made...

Re: ZL 1 #36
It's called OVERRESTORATION. It began happening with Model T Fords in the 70's with casting flash being ground off the exposed front axle, etc. Serious folks know about it and many consider filled frames, LSD inspection marks, etc. as wrong (but prettier!) as a 12 year old's Krylon job on an engine....

Re: ZL 1 #36
------We have to remember that there was an owner involved in a bunch of decisions on this restoration. Right or wrong, no resto shop would undertake as much over-restoration as we see here without the owner wanting it badly enough to step up with his wallet and pay for it.........Bill S

Re: ZL 1 #36
These are the same people that,I believe,were not even at VF to dispute the cars score.....must not have mattered then....why does it now? Enjoy the car...That is why you restored it... is it not?

Re: ZL 1 #36
From what I have read in this post, the car is going to auction. So it appears that this car was done just to be flipped. Vettefest was just going to be used to get a gold spinner, so it could be mentioned on the auction block. Alot of people go nuts when they see an aluminum engine under the hood, and really don't look much further. There are alot of ZL1 cars out there with plenty of issues.

Re: ZL 1 #36
Hey Bob,
Is there any UPDATES to the scoring sheets to the ZL-1? Just kind of curious as to what has un-folded. Thanks, The "MOF"

Thanks, The "MOF" [/ QUOTE ] As far as any updates, this is strictly between the Judging Supervisor and the cars owner. If the owner chooses to publicize his discussions, that is his decision. Not trying to be a jerk, just feel that this is not an issue for public discussion. While we are on this topic, let it be known that at no time did I feel the Judges did anything wrong or were not qualified to properly handle the job. Thanks/BA

Re: ZL 1 #36
Thanks Bob..I wouldn't think that was public info. I can attest first hand that VF judging is pretty tough.
