Thanks Chuck... I spent a lot of time looking your car over at Kenosha and consider it to be the epitome of what I should strive for.  Just a really beautiful (and accurate) car from what I could see. There were many other fine examples too, and I was in heaven just walking around and staring at all the works of art.

Ken, thanks also for the advice.  I'll check the AMO web site out.

Cam, I built my car with things I wanted (some chrome etc.) and some parts that are replacements, some are incorrect colors (master) etc etc etc. I built it this way partly because there was no info when I did mine but partly because that's how I wanted mine to be. Do you want 100% stock or a well built slightly modified version? Either way, if its built right it represents AMC well.

Stock vs non-stock in judging, I went non-stock.

Guys, of you want to discuss AMO judging practices it might be a good idea to start another thread, maybe in the AMO club section. I will note that AMO handles the judging at all National events, not the host club. The host does provide some volunteer judges, but judges come from all event participants all across the country. They do try to put at least one person who is knowledgeable of the cars being judged in each judging team. Judging is always subjective to a degree though. Even trained judges have their favorites and pet peeves, you can't over rule human nature with training.

Thanks for the insight, Tony.  Your car is gorgeous, and you can be proud of it whether all the colors are correct or not.  I do sometimes despair trying to decide whether to stay faithful to certain factory anomalies, i.e. the ruddy brown pumpkin and black over-spray behind the grill on the bright-colored cars.  That one is going to be especially hard to do to my new paint job, lol.

Sorry for taking this off-topic, Frank.  If I have any more questions I'll start a new thread.
