Doug,

Don't sweat it brother,your 69 Camaro is a awesome ride..not many people can appreciate a 40+ year old car on the road today,sure its not 100% and it shouldn't be,but that is what makes it so cool. Its what my dad used to say "if you don't have anything to say nice...don't say it at all" some people get it..and some don't!

Keep up the awesome 9 most would kill to have it in there garage!


-Jim

Next time you head down there let me know. I was actually going to go yesturday, but I dont like getting up that early on non workdays, and I wasnt sure it was even worth it. If theyre picking your car apart theyll LOVE mine.

Ill be going to the drags/car show here today:

I get alot of "wow , what a really nice car....but I would have done X instead".... big block rather than small block, auto rather than manual, blue rather than red....blah blah blah.....good for you....now get the F out of here......

Dont even sweat it. Its like trying to be the bully at school.....its usually a pathetic way to make themselves feel better about their cars or boost their ego, when in fact both of them suck

In my experience, the "paint and body" crowd is the worst. Thye all nit pick and attack each others work. Somehow each one of them feels that they are the only one on earth than can paint a car "right". Any other way is crap and they wont hold back telling their friend as they stand next to your car.

precisely why I don't go to car shows nor sit around my car when I do. I walk around, take pix, and then bail.

Sorry you had to deal with some asshats. Should have asked to see their panel gaps.

he has had people telling him he ruined the car because the gaps were too perfect and they didnt come that way from the factory

Exacty why I hate car show people, more then then car shows.

The nicer the car, the more scrutiny you get.

If you had a total sh!t box, they would of just glaced at it and gone on. But if you have something nice, people will wait until they find something to pick at.

F' em!

What a joke D - next time ask the guy what he runs on the Autox/Road Course?

You need a PT tee shirt like the Harley crowd - 'if I have to explain, you wouldn't get it'

I've seen your car and I love it. No explanation needed...
