Be sure and not overlook all the small places that judges look for dirt. For example: Under the fender well lips, bottom side of the rocker panels,inside all the air intake grills, wheel barrels & brake hubs, exhaust tips both inside and out. On final inspection if you closely lookout every inch of the car for dirt or discoloration and correct it you should be in good shape.

sometimes you're the bug, and some days your the windshield

Last year at this show they tried to say I wasn't registered..... Tried that this year, I had my reg info (email reply as well as signature) with me.......I know 2 of the judges just walked right by it and didn't give it a look.

There should always be separate judging / category for club member cars. A few shows around here still judge member cars with registered entrants though. Shame politics can even mess a good car show.
Your car looks great though.
