I’d like to have the opinion of those who have gone through Flight Judging with a ’61-’62 (or maybe any C-1) or judged one, where the car has not gone through a “frame off” restoration. I’ve read through the applicable TIM&JG and the judging sheets but can’t quite get a fix on just how much of the underside of the car is subject to inspection.
Reason is, I’m thinking of trying for a Duntov Award but began to worry that may not be achievable given that the car has only a “frame on” restoration. There has been a fair amount of detailing under the car, as shown, and the fender wells, nose and engine compartment are in good shape. The car has always scored at 98% at NCRS Chapter events and at Bloomington Gold and Gold/Spinner/Triple Crown. And after each, deducts are always worked on. But the car is enjoyed as a summer driver so it may be impractical to think of it as Duntov quality.
By the way, it’s signed up for NCRS Regional judging so we’ll soon know better….but in the meantime I just wanted benefit of your experience and recommendations as I have so few reference points.
Any input is appreciated.
