That **** is tite. I've done a little bodywork. I can believe you are doing all that work. I dunno if I could do it. I'd like to do something like that, just to say I did that.
As for the trophy's. Shows are a big politcal thing. You may get more torphy's if you know the judges or who ever is throwing the show.
Just what I saw when we were showing my friends Accord. I'd mod that car for the fun of it, not for the shows. Even you though your car is better than the others, it may not win cause of stupid ass politics.
Anyways keep up the good work. I know how hard and annoying that work is.
