Congratulations Chick
« on: November 22, 2018, 02:55:06 AM »
I heard a whisper that Chick's stunning '68 Z/28 took out a "Platinum Pick" award at MCACN 2018 in Chicago, with a score of 999/1000....
Wow. Not surprised at the award, but how did that single point escape, hmm?
J/K - Congratulations Chick and all those who played a part in such a benchmark restoration project!

LOL, thanks Tim! Yes, it was quite a weekend and then being picked the best stock Chevrolet among all the other Camaro's, Chevelle's, Nova's, etc. was just great. And you are correct as many people and vendors make up a team on a restoration project. The point deduction was for a very small piece of masking tape found and how I missed it after cleaning that rascal so many times is beyond me. MCACN is a great show and if one has not attended you have to put that on your bucket list.
Thanks again Tim! A link to see what was in the show and we are around 2:15 or so beside that huge Reliable Car Hauler- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_9zWiWuCC4&fbclid=IwAR2ywBGvPU8bU9QsEU-BacZRUNMIfsP3kFMMOrqvWicRFYdiDXB1po6kAGI

WTG Chick, I think you have set the standard on the CRG for a very detailed and correct resto. I was very impressed with how much time and research you put into getting things right. A great finished product.

Good deal Chick, Platinum pick that's awesome. As far as the point deduction, no one scores 1000

Oh my, huge thank you for the kind words to everyone! Much appreciated! As Mike mentioned they do not give out 1000 points as no car is perfect. The judges I've met and had conversations with are an excellent group and much respected.
For all those that have not attended a MCACN show, one of the huge benefits other than the cars, is having some quality time with friends as Jon earlier mentioned. Great show with a lot of greater people. :) Make plans for next year as I bet the 50 year anniversary of 1969 model cars will be Huge!

The judges must have been pretty danged good to find something you overlooked. Congratulations, I wish my '68 could be half the car yours is. Great job to say the least.
