Dean, I have an 1972 Datsun 240Z and you can email me @ rspeights@aol.com

Steve, I moved to house 2 1/2 years ago and had the floor painted by Premier Garage. It remains just they way it looked the day they did it. They do come in and prep the floor by washing it and sanding it. The process is expensive but I am very pleased with the way it turned out. Prep is the key part of painting the floor. Good luck with it. Bob

Be sure to come back and tell us how you did. </div></div> Shop Rat I just got back from the meet in Cleveland TN. As I noted in my earlier post about judging this was my first AACA event. The local club did a super job and it was an enjoyable weekend and show. I thought I would drop you a quick note to tell you that I did swap out the glove door and I received my First Junior Award. Thanks to all who gave my their input on this. I did attend the judging training meeting and found it helpful as well. Regards, Bob

First of all I hope I did not create too much controversy with my question about the signature on the dash. Since I am both new to the forum and the AACA shows I thought I would ask the question in generic terms using Carroll Shelby as the example since everyone recognizes that name. I actually have a 1972 Datsun 240Z that has won awards and shows from the East Coast to the West. It has also been awarded the ZCCA Gold Medallion Award. For that award the signature would also require a point off. The actual signature is from Mr. K. Yutaka Katayama was the first President of Nissan USA and the one attributed with bringing the Z to the US. He is well known within the Z community but may not necessarily be known as well outside that circle. I have come to realize the best approach is to remove the glove box door as suggested. That is an easy task. I do realize the importance one or two points could be, especially in a judging arena that I am not familiar with. I am planning on going to the SE Meet in Cleveland TN next month so if anyone on this posting is going as well, please stop by and say hello. Thanks again to all of the comments. Bob

Thank you for the comments and advice. From past experiences I know how critical a point or two can be, so I appreciate the candor. I have had to take it off before so removal is not really a problem. Thanks again Bob

I am about to participate in my first AACA show and I have a question about the rules that I could not find any reference to in the outline. I have shown my car in different venues before but I have never done so in an AACA one. The question is- is there a point deductions for a signature on the dash? An example would be having a Carroll Shelby signature on the dash of a Shelby Mustang. I have a signature on the glove box door, which I could swap out if needed, by a historical person for the car. It does add to the history of the car, but if there is an associated deduction I will change out the parts before hand. If not I would prefer to leave it there. Thanks, Bob
