If you have the right outlook on this, it will be a fun filled learning experience. It certainly was for me.
Check EBAY occasionally. Search for TRICO, not Corvette.

Chuck is correct on the 63/64 T3 lights. No vertical lines inside the tringle, no DOT markings (this is on the reproductions), and the words GUIDE and SEALED BEAM must be along the bottom of the lens.

Contact your Chapter judging chairman. He'll have the judging sheets, and will send you/give you a copy.
If he doesn't have extras, you can get them through Roy Sinor, National Judging Chairman.
That way, you can see the "point assignment" for every section, and the breakout of originality/condition points.

Here's my short list as of today:
4. Dill 627 valve stem caps - just got some NOS parts shipped to me today, will put them on the car tonight.
6. Missing courtesy light switch on in the passanger side door jam - again available at Paragon and I have some Daytona Blue paint to make it look correct.
7. Lug nuts, missing one on each wheel - looks like the old owner had lock lugs on the car at some point - Paragon and LIC stock these.
Also, I know that I need to join the NCRS to get judged, I assume that I can do this on the website www.ncrs.org; but how do I register for an event to get the car judged in the spring?
Thanks

There should be no paint on the courtesy light plunger switch - they were installed after paint.
Lug nuts aren't judged, as wheel covers aren't removed - they're a lot cheaper out of the Dorman drawer at your local FLAPS.
Click on the "Contacts" button at the www.ncrs.org home page and find your nearest local chapter contact - they can tell you when/where their annual Chapter judging meet is held; also a good idea to join the Chapter, as that's where all the experience, people, expertise, and events are. You also need the "Corvette Judging Reference Manual", available from the NCRS on-line store, which explains the judging process in great detail, including what to expect on the judging field and how to prepare for judging.

my bad-messed up again-good thing I don't judge C2s.
