Car show class help
I am in charge of a car show, and I was thinking of adding a class, but I am not sure what to call it. A lot of people are getting barn find's, and old hot rods on the road, and people are making new ones look old. So I wanted to have a class for them so they dont compete against new high doller builds. I think rat rod makes a car sound low quality and poorly built. I was thinking maybe old school, or somthing like that. What would you call a well built hot rod that was built to look like it was built 40 years ago. Thanks. By the way, I am just a car guy, not a promotor. All the money made goes to charity and scholorships.

Re: Car show class help
How about "our class" with a description so people can put themselves in that one, Like kulturekat stated. However, I do like the old's kool.

P.S., don’t let the looks of those rat rods fool you, most all of them are well built under all that rusty sheet metal.

Re: Car show class help
i like built not bought that is a great name for the class a lot of us fall under. show up all those yuppie with big wallets and no tallent unlike the guys that built them. anyone can pay to have a car/truck built or just buy it done already.

Re: Car show class help
All of those sound good. We have alot of classes already, but nothing for this. The class will be for 1972 and older cars or trucks, stock or modified, that do not appear to have been redone since 1972. It would include barn finds, unrestored original, old hotrods, rat rods or whatever.

Re: Car show class help
" Built not Bought" Now that's a class I would be proud to be in, Even if I was'nt close to a trophy.
Its not always what you'r doing, Its who your doing it with!!
