Just another perspective.....I painted a 359 last fall and had a batch of Dupont's Imron mixed up. I wasn't that fond of "Vendor H's" shade, compared to the original bronze on the engine. I un-bolted the engine mount and cleaned the inside edge, brought it to my paint jobber, and he matched it up nicely. Very durable paint, but i've heard it's getting harder to find in different states.

I know everyone who attended the national has had a few days to recover from the trip. I just had to say what a great meet this year was! Even though hot, at least it was not rain. Great cars, people, and judging site. It was also nice meeting some of you regulars to this site.

I can tell you from attending several past national meets, that it is touch and go. The meets generally don't broadcast to the general public about the day of judging, but some of the meets i've attended, you can walk right in. Others (2005 meet, Boston) they had someone working the entrance to the show field so that only registered members that had paperwork proving that they were registered were allowed in. Unfortunately you won't know till you get there. Your best bet......find someone there, and hop a ride with them through the entrance!!
