Soon Dawg! Not done being a "points-chasing trailer queen" yet.

6 days until the Camaro Nationals.

This year the Z is in the Legends Class which is about as squirrely as you can get for points chasing trailer queens. It's a 5,000 point class and they put in on a lift.

The 1969 former owner is coming from California, the 1974 former owner is coming from South Carolina and the 1976 former owner is coming from Florida. It should be real interesting.

Everything is pretty much set on the car except for one spot where there is a gap between the lower windshield trim (near the driver's side) and the outer cowl panel. The clip probably came loose when it was being buffed out.

after that....I'm not sure what else might be incorrect or how the car will do, but hopefully it will do OK.

It would be nice, but doubtful. The judges in the legends class are extremely knowledgeable on 1st gen and 2nd Camaros. It's little details like the wrong headmarkings on certain bolts, the wrong finish on a certain parts, reproduction parts, etc... that make you lose points.

It's not unusual for a 1st year legends car to score around 85%. If I hit 90% I'll be happy, and if I hit 95% I'll be ecstatic.

The clip will be fixed on Monday. lol.

The trip to Maryland didn't go smoothly and my trailer brakes need some major work.

Anyway, the car scored 94.6% and I'm happy with the score. I didn't get the detailed info yet on the deductions but I should have them in about a week or so.

I'm not 100% sure why, but it was nerve-wracking for me to watch the car being judged this year.

The 1969 former owner came from California.
The 1974 former owner came from South Carolina.
The 1976 former owner came from Florida.

They were awesome guys to hang out with and all of them want the car back.

I'll post up some pics soon.
