You can't compare new to old, and theres no way as much time went into the bolt ons on a new car compared to the restoration of a classic.

I love your car tho,sounds Sweet!
Like I said I know how much work goes into restoring,try doing one from 1931,not to many parts cars for that. I wasent argueing beacause sometimes I think that also,but I have as much right to show off my car as the old cars do.

That was you 
. I would have had you if it wasn't for my gear lol. That was a fun night. Wow, restoring something from 1931 would be a challenge. Did you get it finished?
Don't get me wrong, you Do have just as much right to show off you car as anyone else. I know I'm guilty of thinking that just because it's newer it must not have anything more than bolt ons. I know thats not always true. I guess I just wish that when people are at Classic Car Shows, they wouldn't enter their new car in the show so they are eligible for a trophy. Park it and pop the hood w/ the others, just don't enter it. I can appreciate just about anything as well

Yea thats me,remember you waved to the camara!LOL
Yea we got the 31 done and we sold it to build the 67 Pro Street Nova. The guy that bought it takes it up to the Ronnie show at Burger King. Its yellow with TT2's. Some shows do have year limits.Its a car show,were car guys can take there babies out and show it off. The sucky side is that there are stupid kids that make fun of good looking old cars. They just dont understand what a real car is. Even if its a Pinto/Gremlin,they make mean Pro Streets!

on your first point, the mustang guys show up becouse alot of the mustang clubs have their meets at car shows.
i stoped going to car shows becouse the crap the people think are show cars. old or new. people buy cars and put a pin strip on them and think they have something to show off.
