What you should do is make it for the biggest piece of junk corvette, for those who actually need the parts.

Yup.


I have a pretty cool vette, I really do (in my opinion), but it looks like crap.


You are basically gonna pay people for having a good paint job, lol.

Fact is, those of us with unfinished projects are your bread and butter, not those of us who are done and happy with the results.

Enter what you want. We are keeping the contest as it stands. If you've owned a vette long enough, you would know it never ends. There is always something else that could be done. At least for a majority of people anyways.

I have owned a vette long enough, thank you. But I would think the person with the coolest corvette will not fall into the majority of people who still have more work to be done.

It was just a suggestion, I'm sure you would receive alot more entries from the guys actively working on their cars than the guys with the coolest corvettes.
