I can get behind this. I've spent years now restoring my '72. All along, I've said that it will be a 9/10 car. At this point, it is more like a 95/100 car, but the same idea. The car will be done this summer and I'm really looking forward to driving it to the fall PCA wash'n'shine show. However, I've seen what goes into the 'serious' cars. A friend of mine has been spending the last several months preparing a GS Carrera that just scored 296 points at Parade. I respect the work and I was awestruck by the car, but I won't ever have the time to do that kind of prep myself. If I hit the lottery, sure, but in the meantime I've got family, work, and more interesting hobbies.
