OzStang390, bring it out anyway! have seen one car at a previous show with no dash - just lots of wires hanging out. Was a work in progress and good to see them in different stages of restoration.

muzz67's coupe a few years back, probably was the most popular car at the show ......

I have taken "barn finds" to shows in the US, as they were found. You could not get near those cars to take pictures they were so popular.

Most people walking around shows have no idea how these cars start out, let alone what it takes to build them.

Yeah, I am hoping to bring it out anyway :-)

I was just stirring by trying to make up a category I'd have some chance of winning :poke:

So... anyone know of a car trailer I could use for the day??

I wouldn't doubt it, that is a nice looking build going on there from what I see in the picture.

I'd have to agree with you on "Barn Finds", they are usually the ones with the most interesting stories, but... although this one (I have) may have been a "Barn Find" for the bloke I bought it from, he stripped a lot of it out... so when I bought it, it was mostly a shell with a lot of new and used parts in boxes... I really don't know if *that* would be of interest to anyone...

No, but I might drag OZBILT (Mrsozbilt's Mach) out & give it a run. Paint will still be stuffed, but mechanically it will be fine. ..... ;)

H is checking out the Easy Buy catalogue for him now.

Steve, she is pegging you as a floral kind of guy as opposed to a peplum sort of fella; any preference?
