I had the opportunity to attend the recent Advanced Judging School conducted by Dan Young at the Altoona Regional. Dan is the NCRS 67 team leader. This school is well recognized within the NCRS as a must attend event. Dan brought with him a 67 restored rolling chassis to use while conducting his school. I learned a lot from my attendance. Dan is very meticulous in his restoration process. He told us what processes that he has found to best work in restoring his cars. Using the rolling chassis (pictures included), he discussed carbon vs. stainless parts, frame stamping, front suspension, rear suspension, front and rear brake systems, brake lines, fuel line, wheels, tires, and engine components. The car was a factory side pipe car and we discussed how to judge these cars. The engine was a tri-power 427 cuin, 390 hp. We discussed engine paint, intake manifold paint, bell housing over spray, and engine stamp pad. He emphasized the upper and lower control arm and steering linkage factory pant dipping process. Having the rolling chassis proved to be invaluable in the teaching process.
In the afternoon, we moved to a 67 Corvette on the flight judging floor to discuss exterior paint, glass and trim judging. As usual, paint judging was controversial.
