I wonder about the Camaro National as well. It almost seems like it's all about finding fault. Instead of "wow, this is a really nice car, you just need a few details to make it better", it may be "this is wrong, that is wrong, fix it and better luck next year". I hope it's the former and not the later.

Either way, try to have fun with it. Sometimes I loose track of that, and my dad / family / friends need to remind me that I do this for fun. F u n .......... F u n .......... F u n .......... I need to repeat it slowly & take deep breaths sometimes.
The Maratta Show had a Las Vegas type vibe to it. It's not the SEMA show or anything but it was cool to see big crowds walking around the car taking loads and loads of pictures. It was like the car was a Hollywood star on the red carpet. LOL.

Most people there didn't know or didn't care about numbers stuff. They just liked seeing the car and it was nice over hearing a lot of dad's explaining to their kids how cars used to be when they were growing up. I thought that was great.

Next year, I'd like to bring the Z to the Maratta Show and maybe the Boston World of Wheels show.

The most fun part of all though is cruising around the streets of Granby CT and Southwick Mass.

This was a real tough decision. I believe most cars had a lot more black but I have seen pics where some were primer. For modern judging, they want a uniform 30% gloss black with some overspray. In judging in the 80's, they allowed either primer gray or black. In the end, I took Mike's advice and just went with how this car looked and put it back to how we think it looked originally.
