AnniesSS Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 My husband and I are debating which class to enter - HPOF or DPC. I've read the Judging Guidelines and it looks like we could be in either class.I'm the 2nd owner of a 89 Suburban which the original owner had all of the work done at a dealership and is all documented. While we think we could enter HPOF, what happens when we get to Hershey and they say no, it shouldn't be in this class. Can we put the truck in DPC or what happens? Will they change us or do we not get judged?Just trying to see what to expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCHinson Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 If you enter the Suburban in HPOF, it will be evaluated by the HPOF team. It will either receive a HPOF certification, or else it will not receive a HPOF certification. It will not be changed to another class at that meet. It it is an original unrestored vehicle, with original paint, and no modifications, I would suggest HPOF. If there are any obvious non-original components, or if it has been repainted, then I would register it in DPC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnniesSS Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 Thanks for the clarification. The original owner had the front end and the barn doors repainted, so HPOF would not be an option. Appreciate your time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCHinson Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 You could contact the Chairman of the HPOF Committee and ask him for his opinion. It is my understanding that a total repaint pretty much eliminates a vehicle from HPOFcertification, but a partial repaint like that may or may not, if the vehicle is otherwise in extremely original condition. The Chairman of the HPOF Committee is Roger Irland. You can send a Private Message to forum member RogerPHX if you wish to contact him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnniesSS Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 Is Roger here on the forums frequently? I sent him a private message and haven't heard back yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCHinson Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 He has probably been traveling to the Tennessee Dual Meet. I don't think he is on the forum very often. Hopefully he will respond to you. If not, you could call Headquarters and I am sure they could help you contact him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
