I UNDERSTAND THAT SEVERAL DIFFERENT SIZES OF COTTER PINS WERE USED ON THE CHEVYS.IS THERE A LIST FOR THE DIFFERENT YEARS AS TO THE SIZES. I WONDER IF THE JUDGING GOES AS FAR AS CHECKING SIZES AT CERTAIN POINTS ON THE CARS. OR CHECKING TO SEE IF SOMEONE USED STAINLESS COTTER PINS. I UNDERSTAND THAT SOME OTHER MAKES OF CARS ARE JUDGED TO THE POINT, THAT WHEN YOU BEND THE ENDS THEY HAVE TO POINT A CERTAIN WAY????????????? :arrow: :arrow: DON BOLTZ FROM THE EVERGREEN STATE

I made a list of cotter pin sizes and location when I was doing my roadster chassis several years ago. If you are real serious about showing your car in judged shows, don't use SS. Some judges carry a magnet to check mainly bolts and some repro parts like head light bars, etc. Roadster32 http://www.rdgsons.com/sp/35-s.jpg

WHEN I SEE REPLACED RADIATORS ON CARS BEING RESTORED THAT ARE NOT ORIGINALS, OR GRILLS REPLACED IN STAINLESS, BECAUSE THAT IS HOW THE RESTORATION PARTS ARE MADE. AND THEN SOMEONE TELLING ME, OH YOU CANT USE STAINLESS BOLTS OR NUTS, WHICH IS JUST A CHANGE OF WHAT THE MATERIAL IS TO MAKE IT STAINLESS,WELL IN THAT CASE AND THIS IS MY OPINION, THE JUDGING FORMAT NEEDS A OVERHAULING?????????? :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: DON BOLTZ FROM THE EVERGREEN STATE

I hope we get to have a judgeing school so us poor old Texans can join the original and correct world of showing them wonderful old cars. I just hope I don't have to take off my "blue dots" and my Dixie air horns and my C.B.! Life's a long winding trail, love Jesus and ride a good horse!
