well winning isnt a big deal, i just dont want ppl to be like, why is THIS in a show or somethin.
the paint has less than 10,000 miles on it and is stored in winters, and every night inside in heat so i dunno how it could look dull lol. must just be the pic.

Hey, you never know. Personally, I like the street rod shows. I entered my car in 2 of then so far and I won first place in the foreign class and first place in the 75 thry 95 class. I showed my 81 280ZX Turbo. It was the Bling man that got the votes! Painted Barney purple with 16" Epic chrome wheels. Aftermarket targa band across the roof, T tops off showing a low buck interior restro. It looked good. I parked by the fast and furious cars and they all voted for me. I even had a piece of duct tape covering a rust hole on the bottom of my hatch. Who knows, give it a shot.

Heck, I entered another 81 ZX Turbo in a show that had 270K on the odometer. The interior was yellow with cigg smoke from the old folks that had it before me and I pulled a second! I'm tellin ya man, it's the Bling!
