Did they BELIEVE that particular car came from the factory that way? It appears that they didn't judge that car correctly either. Was it an oversight or intentional? Think the obvious is obvious????? This thread was pretty informative, I'm sorry it got corrupted.

It looked like the cable was painted all the way up to about 4" away from the connector head. There was about 4" of black cable showing.

The judge we have been talking about WASN'T on my team. I didn't judge that class. I don't put together any teams. I speak for myself alone. My team is me and one other guy who have forgotten more than you'll ever know about these cars. So keep showing your extreme knowledge we are all in awe. 69 Road Runner vert 69 GTX hard top 70 Road Runner 4 speed 70 Hemi Cuda vert

Picture I took was too dark to see , but the neg cable was entirely painted but the ground on that cable was only painted about 1/4 of the way. Try to do that with a spray gun. 69 Road Runner vert 69 GTX hard top 70 Road Runner 4 speed 70 Hemi Cuda vert

Evidently, you "judges" are also experts at accessing and assuming the knowledge held by people that you don't even know. That is probably part of the reason for the constant judging errors similar to the ones described in this thread. By all means, continue your lecture on the "stupid" statements being made by us peons. We're listening.

So if your comments are not for constructive purposes please feel free to "spice up" the Mopar Nats Judging thread in the General Forum, which is where they belong IMO.

If I remember correctly, there was no more than 2-3 inches of paint on it. I promptly removed the paint with some paint remover. So my current GTX has no more than about 3 inches of paint on the negative cable. Isn't it strange that 43 years ago, I removed the paint and with my current one, I added it on.

No. The motor is red. The car in red too, just a little different red than the motor. It's a picture of a picture in a 40 year old magazine. Some colors are a little off. When the red small blocks get baked from heat, the get more orange. The cooked paint on the exhaust manifolds look a more red-orange shade than the motor.
