If you’re as fussy as we are about detailing your cars when participating at shows, you might be shocked that we suggest you enter your incomplete restoration project when you can. Most events will have a “restoration class” to compete in and it’s a great way get a report card on how you’re doing. We've received some helpful hints at car shows from folks who have restored the same model as our entry.
Maybe you might even win “Best in Class”. Wouldn’t that be a great picture to have in your Restoration Photo Album?
