Re: Why does everyone hate NCRS? (garagedweller2)
If the car is rare or one of a kind, it should be left untampered..
She will be returned to as close to factory spec as possible with a few mods.
I would, however, preserve a car that was rare or unique.
It kind of depends on the starting point.

Re: Why does everyone hate NCRS? (sb69coupe)
Looking at some post around here in the last year or two I have notice that alot of people just dont seem to like NCRS. WHY? Is it because how strict they are about being totally original?
:yesnod: :yesnod: :yesnod: :yesnod: They are way too **** about being perfect, and I mean perfect :rolleyes:
Ryan, have you actually READ the post? Have you participated in an NCRS event, read the NCRS judging guides? If you've read the posts above you'll notice that the NCRS is NOT about cars being "perfect". It's about restoring the car to the exact appearance when it left St Louis. Judging points are deducted for a paint job that's too smooth without any orangepeel. Same goes for many other areas where cars are over-restored when compared to the way they were originally delivered.
Now, if you mean that the judging is picky, well yeah, it is. That's the whole point of it. Restore the car to the condition and appearance as it was delivered from GM, no better or worse. "Restoring" a car in NCRS circles adheres to the 3rd definition as supplied by the Webster online dictionary:
Main Entry: re·store
Pronunciation: ri-'stOr, -'stor
Function: transitive verb
Inflected Form(s): re·stored; re·stor·ing
Etymology: Middle English, from Old French restorer, from Latin restaurare to renew, rebuild, alteration of instaurare to renew
Date: 14th century
1 : GIVE BACK, RETURN
2 : to put or bring back into existence or use
3 : to bring back to or put back into a former or original state: RENEW
4 : to put again in possession of something
synonym see RENEW
- re·stor·er noun
