Not sure. The restoration shop owner "nominated" the car after being asked to by a nominating committee member to do so. Just got a letter that said thanks for nominating, but no thanks we don't want the car.

I should know better than to plan a show with an unfinished car. Of course the shop found some problems they had to fix and now I will be bringing something else to the show.
