You can show the car in bare metal but not in paint and still contend for the ridler. Troy was disqualified due to the fact he had shown the car going togther in paint on his website. But when they started reassembly the radrides 56 was not intended for the ridler. That car is hands down super awesome. But the ridler is all about paint and chroming senseless parts. The first love 36 was bulit and designed from day one to win the Ridler. This car is not designed or intended to be a "show car". Sure it will be nice, but I have no intention in smearing bondo over nice TIG welds or coating the stainless headers. Headers should be raw stainless ( Or Titanium ) and have every hand laid TIG weld shining in bright BLUE and GOLD. Not chromed exhaust.
