Well, thanks alot Dennis for the input. One good thing about having the 75 at SOC03...being judged in the concours, was that the judges gave each owner the tally sheets with points deductions....and each non-original item was penciled in. I received a two point deduction for the sway bars, none for the konis, and none for the header. Next years judges may grade differently, but that is the chance I'm going to take. My car had a total of 79 points deducted...the winning car had 46 points deducted. Right now I'm working on the engine bay(almost 20 points lost), wheels and tires and under carriage are almost done(26 points in deductions), headliner will be replaced soon(8 points deducted). I also had some nit-pick points lost for other small things, and most will be corrected as I was able to snag some NOS parts in Hershey. I figure I can easily knock off 70 points with some more work....undercoating sprayed all over the engine bay and wiring harnesses will be my biggest challenge, but I am working on that now.
After next years concours I might decide to mod it up, but it's good to know there are options out there for me. Plus it gives me time to search for the info to make them...or locate parts...or ask more questions.
