Friends: 13 |  I am going to be showing the Zhang Heng Prius-class shuttlecraft this weekend at an Eastern Pennsylvania car show. I sort of lucked out on my first attempt and won a 3rd place trophy. I am not counting on the same amount of luck this time, so major effort is going into presentation. I will get the car as clean and shiny inside an out as I can. I have lots of products, so I should be in good shape there. I also have various gimmicks, like Mylar panels to put underneath to reflect the undercar lights, the wee Prius Zhang Sui, and an easel with information. So, those of you with experience showing your low riders and Vettes and what not from the days of your extended adolescence, Do you have any suggestions for things that judges look for, little details that can make or break an entry or give one the teeny edge in competition. For example, my tires are relatively new. They will be shined up. But I notice the little mold injection fingers of rubber sticking out. Should I trim them off? I will of course be writing up my experience on my return.

Friends: 6 | Re: Displaying at a car show Great job. It's a lot of work and you deserve the reward. Now, if you can hover the car a few feet above the ground I'm sure that would assure you of getting first place..... |

Friends: 13 | Re: Displaying at a car show Just returned from yet another car show. I was a bit miffed that I came in second in my category to a frakkin' POLICE CAR ('74 New York State patrol car, with huge gumball lights on top), but suprised to receive a second trophy for Best Display. I am proud of that one, 'cause its something I have been working hard at. |
