Actually, I wrote this message when I looked at the preview on the GoodGuys website of who would be attending this year. Certainly a car like the Bobby Alloway-built Ken Nestor Challanger, or Scott Whitby's black Camaro would be more in tune of what I was thinking about, sterling examples of combining old with new. And what was wrong with 1955/56 Chevys that competed and won back in 2003? They had character lines which distinguished themselves from the common examples of modern car building, coming off assembly lines, that we see going down the road, and what is parked right outside in the public parking lot at Columbus. Those cars can't even get through the gate at Columbus. I would hope that future judges would not use tunnel vision when making their choices. I kinda like a good straight axel car, but it don't belong in SMOY competition. As for chrome pieces, what's so bad about seeing your reflection in it? And can you tell me, what's more difficult: to get an original bumper, modified like crazy so it is a perfect fit, in flawless chrome, or a carbon fiber replicate? Like I mentioned, I'm all for evoloution, but would like some substitution. Throw in a dinosaur for some of us "dynosoars".
