General Discussion / Re: AACA board of directors

Mike,
Glad to hear you got your trophy!
When I'm a team captain at a national meet, I try to make those kind of questions "teachable moments".
Had a Yenko in 36B a couple of years ago, and the chassis and motor judges obviously knew little about high performance cars. Fortunately, I knew the owner, who I asked to give us a quick overview. In the end I had to beg my team to go judge the rest of the cars.
I always learn something when I walk on the show field.

Thanks to Doug and others for the support!
Actually, except for the nomination articles in Antique Automobile, there is really little "running for office" in AACA, so any chance for "putting in a good word" is truly appreciated.
On to more important stuff: Chick, are you bringing your car to Hershey? I appreciate what you said about AACA judging. Over time it has become my opinion that any properly restored Camaro should have no problem with our Judging Guidelines.
Hope to see any of you at Hershey. Once again, thanks for the support.

Are you looking for a "how to" manual? Check out the CRG literature list on the homepage. I think all four restoration books are still available.
I find myself continuously going back to Jerry's 67 - 68 book for my 68.

« on: August 29, 2018, 02:09:59 AM »This is a great opportunity to again thank Phillip for the opportunity to attend last year’s fall event. It was a wonderful, glorious car filled day! So good, that I looked forward to attending again this year. Unfortunately, I had already booked a flight to visit Mom at this same time. So, maybe next year? Weather was perfect, I’ll add. Thank you Phillip and CRG.The pleasure was all mine! We got to get you to the spring show.

Who is going?
You might not recognize inside the Speedway. The setup for the ROVAL race is being put in place.

I've been using 303 for over a decade. The 8 year old vinyl top on my 68 looks brand new. Stuff has been around since the 80s. Just been a well kept secret...
I do like the way it is not slick or sticky.

General Discussion / Re: Member of Forum passed away and a Emergency Kit question
« on: July 16, 2018, 12:23:41 PM »Possibly, it would just depend on that judge. Again, it is just one point, and you could get 50 taken off and still get a preservation.Truly sorry to hear about your loss.
It is great that you are keeping it in the family and showing it in AACA.
There are a handful of AACA members here in the forum. If you have questions, ask away.
As for the GM Emergency Kit, the normal rule of thumb in AACA is to not display an unattached accessory unless it is in original condition as you will get a one point deduction for condition. But since you already have your Senior, a one point deduction is no big deal. Never seen one on a Camaro, but the two I have see were right next to the spare.
BTW, those kits bring a small fortune on EBay!
Thank you for the advice!!! The kit has all the original parts with it and is in the original GM box. The box is a bit brown from age, would they take points off for that?
