Bill Barker is right there is all the info you need in the judging books.
As a judge for only 6-7 years I'll share this with you. Minus any large glowing errors, problems, dents, rust etc. I'd say 90% of the issues I see {when judging} are basic.
Wrong color {Not Chevy}
Wrong Parts {Not Chevy/GM}
Poor Quality {paint, parts, chrome etc.}
Wrong interior fabrics/paints/colors, etc.
Wrong hub caps, trim, etc.
What I mean is common visuals that are easy to see such as under the hood. I have seen the wrong Spark plug wires, plugs, hoses, engine paint/color, hose clamps, screws, wiring, horns, battery, radiator Cap., Carb. Air Cleaner etc. Just basic stuff.
Take a look in the trunk like is there a spare, are wrong correct, any missing panels, are the floor mats good/original, etc. etc.
Take a look at the interior, are the fabrics/colors correct, right radio, floor mats, handles, knobs, accessories, switches etc.
Just look at your car with this though in mind, "Did it roll off the assembly line this way."
If in doubt ask questions here and or referee to the judging manuals and or your cars manuals. And join VCCA national & a local region. Then have other VCCA members go over the car before judgment day!!
Good Luck,
