    Re: To restore or not to restore...the Dilemma

    NCRS judging for unrestored cars is actually called Star/Bowtie judging because a car earns a star in each of the four sections. It does take all four for a Bowtie Award, but it is not an all-or-nothing scenario. There are one-, two-, and three-star plaques.

    Based on what you say, the car has already lost the exterior and probably interior. But there is nothing to be ashamed of with a 44-year-old two-star car that has been enjoyed for all those years. To echo what others have said it is only original once; think carefully before you destroy all that. I would wait and see how much you have gained with improvements this year.

      That's why the convertible top is already "low hanging fruit" compared to anything else. No loss in originality by replacing it, yet it would gain him in Flight judging if that's his goal.
