Brad... Calm down. I and some other...
...people are going to Puyallup. I'll be inside in a 3 booth enticement with free Tootsie Rolls. I really think you need an NCRS Judging Reference Manual & an NCRS 1958/60 TIM & JG. But, not enough time. I'll try to bring what I have for you you to reference at our booth. Feel free to stop by and chat. I have limited experience, but NCRS Past President Rick Reid will be there. Bert Lukens, past National Judging Chairman & past 53/55 National Team Leader will be there. You don't need to buy parts to get advice, but it can help. Hope to meet you, Best, Dennis- Top

Re: 58 stuff
Brad, I feel your "make-it-happen" approach on your 58. Stay excited but get a decent library so you don't buy a lot of items that appear okay and work but can be wrong. In fact, I have gotten a lot of 58 advice from experts in the process. Some really good advice and some not so good. I have been working on my 58 for five years (1-yr researching, 4-yrs buying semi to correct parts, and the last year getting my nerve up to bond panels). To me, the 58 is really unique and lots of early to late production changes were made. I have gotten too laid back on my restoration but Patience, Patience . . . still learning new things about the 58 on a regular basis.- Top
