Mike, awesome pictures! Thanks for sharing. It's too bad you didn't score better. That's amazing how perfect some of them look. Is there any consistency to the judging (are you losing points on the same thing). No doubt you get 1st place in this forum!
The human factor cannot be ignored. The recent amca rules regarding " restored" machines states that showroom new condition is the requirement. The poor oldster is 73, no way around it.
No biggie. 4 British gents judged it and they were equally persnickety on the other too. I understand, some entrants get downright pissy and take thing personally. I prefer the rigid judgement.
I may be able to pick up 3 or 4 points, not enough. Some of the other deductions are simply not worth the money and effort to persue...
An example for a 1/2 point gain would be to unlace(unspoke)the offending wheel and align the hub grease fitting 180 degrees off the air chuck...Ain't gonna happen.
It has been a great learning experience and the judges are approachable and serious about business.
