Shirley and I were at a show this summer that had 3 willys in the same class. One guy walked up to mine and said "Is your steel too? when I said it was glass he said "oh, too bad its not real like that one" pointing to one down the line. When I told him it was glass also and he said "no.. the owner just told him it was "..a real steel car". Shirl and I almost died laughing. You have to know the owner to appreciate the story but he is one of those that has to have the best, be the best, and do the best. He obviously thought admitting his was just another glass car made him less somehow. We only go to 2 shows a year (partially because of his attitude) but at another show he had such a contention with the another Willys owner that he went back to registration and and tried to change his class designation. At a show last year He accused the judges of being "bought" when our's took best of show and best paint both. He wanted us to give him the best of show trophy because "we didn't deserve both of them".
I have built 4 glass cars and a dozen steel cars and I tell you that they were all damned hard work. It is all about the labor not the material used.
