I have searched the archives but have been unable to locate the answer to these two questions. When my 67 was judged in September ( I did receive a top fight) the judge quickly identified 2 objects as repops, how?
He looked at my top ignition shield quickly and said repop and assumed that all other shielding was also repo. How can you tell you identify the top shield so quickly?
My washer jar was also identified as repop from the passenger side of the fender view not even on the driver side where it is located, how did he do that. They did look at the screen and thta was correct. I see NOS jars on e-bay etc and they look like mine, how can one tell the difference?
These were minor deductions and I am just looking to expand my knowledge and awareness on identification of original parts from reproductions.
Last but not least, does "everyone" lose points for reproduction battery cables, never ever seen any offered for sale anywhere ( I do have the same reprodictionsd that everyone uses on the car) and this appears to be an impossible part to locate.
Thanks,
Gary
