All good points and views.... my 2cents worth? It'd be a fantastic idea if mysandman.com.au sponsored a trophy (or 2) for sandmans and maybe another category. What I noticed doing the trophy list this year, is yes, it's all about customizing. But should it be? As I have no idea on judging and what to look for, if you want a trophy for all original restorations etc.. you would need someone(s) who really know their stuff, not just holden, but ford and chrysler as well. Unfortunately, they are far and few between and those that may know, aren't interested in judging anymore, hence the issue keeps cropping up of "we need judges". Re originality... i was going to keep Beigy original... clean him up good and proper... but i have come to the realisation that originality doesn't count for anything, so i'm customising... but having said that... i'm not a trophy hunter (but if one did come my way, who am i to reject it...LOL). Anyhow, i wish you all the best of luck... contact Panther Van Club in WA and sponsor a trophy in Perth next year... 2013 we're going to qld... 2014....???? SA????
