I've had a '56 Powell in the barn for years and am considering restoring it. Its very complete, unmodified, and little if any rust. My question to the forum is this: Is it worth the effort and cost to restore it to truly original specs? For example, the correct seat is missing. Should I find an original and copy it or is just fabricating something similar (and more comfortable) sufficient for a vehicle like this? Considering its questionable parentage, does the AACA even consider it a legitimate make? Would a Powell be eligible for judging? If I ever did have it judged its pretty likely that it would be the first one they'd ever seen so how would they score it?
