Seeing the earlier post about over restoring a car Vs. OEM type restorations got me thinking. In original class judging(not the OE class), shouldn't more wight be given to the use of NOS parts or refurbished original parts than using Repo. parts? It appears to me that many times a pretty repo. part is given the same or more respect and points than if the restorer had used NOS parts or refurbished the original parts. In my experience, the judges are not taking this into consideration when the car is judged and the judging sheets should have an area for giving the car more points for keeping the car more "original". I know that in the Mopar Nationals judging the points are based on condition and originality. A car can get equal points for condition and originality. I feel that more weight should be given for originality. Any thoughts on this? Mark @ Blue Star Performance
