AMEN!!! I've been going to and participating in car shows as long as I can remember. To get a thumbs up going down the road, or a comment from a spectator or participant at a show is much more important to me than winning a trophy. Now dont get me wrong... i still get tickled when I win a trophy here and there (even with my 16 year old restoration)... especially at a show where i do NOT know anyone.
Lately, I've been freshening the old girl up. Redid the trunk, new chrome under the hood, fixing the things I did to her when I was 16 (boy, how I didnt burn this thing up I'll never know...LOL). I too do 99% of the work on my car (ok... maybe 98%). To me that is one of the joys. To buy a car already done, show it and collect trophies for someone else's hard work would just not be satisfying. But then that's me. I like to look back at the fruits of my labor and admire what I've just accomplished (well, in most cases). Sometimes it may not come out just quite like I had expected or wanted, but that's OK. SHE's MINE!!
