My car is a NOM 1970 LT-1. The car was repainted and I have redone the entire brake system including master cylinder (have the original), and gone with radial tires. The exhasut was replaced. The interior is missing a few minor items and has some wear, though in great overall shape. The chassis and suspension are untouched including the shocks. Returning the body, chassis and interior to Top Flight status should be relatively easy.
The decision to return the engine to Top Flight or as close as possible would only be made if the rest of the car already was and it was financially worthwhile as properly rebuilding the engine will be expensive. Not looking for investment value, but rather 'how much do I really want to spend'.
Given this, can I have my car judged for one area only? I would love to redo the interior, chassis, body, etc, get it judged, use the judging to determine the next step if any. I would love to have the car judged overall as most of it is probably correct. With a 71 block, no TI system, wrong carb, no shileding, wrong RH exhaust manifold, etc, I know it won't reach thrid flight. Do I still take the judge's time for a car that cannot possible 'flight'? I would love to if this is generally acceptable as I would have a 'checklist' of items to replace or fix.
I do not want to waste any judge's time to judge a car that is maybe 60-70% correct.
All thoughts would be appreciated.
