With the picture I have shown, unless you read my signature or know me and had P71 not put on the first page it is a swap car, I do not think you could tell. Also, most of the pictures submitted for nominations were exterior shots of the car. Most the voting will be based on what the car looks like, not what engine or engine set up it has, unless you know the car.

You're right. I didn't realize it till after I voted but I still didn't vote for it. You would have gotten away with it if you had mounted the front end and fenders though.

So why else did I put an unfinished car up for nomination? How many of us have a car that is currently in the process of being modified, upgraded, and/or fixed? How often do our cars sit, not running? I'm sure most of us would say our cars are never finished, there is always something to be done, so the requirement of a 95%-100% finished will never happen.

this is true,

Do I take this poll seriously? What does the ROTM owner get? Phil has mentioned turning this into a calendar. Of course, we now have the restriction of professional grade pictures...not all of us are that skilled and/or may not know someone who's skilled...so we may have an awesome car, but because we can't get great pictures of it, we can't win. I would like to think that RCC in some way helps the ROTM owners get professional quality pictures of their car for the calendar. It could be as simple as another member taking the pictures...i dont know!

just take better pictures of the cars. I don't think Herblenny wants you to go out and contract a photog for pics but a decent pic is mandatory.

As it's been said, no other FDs were nominated, so mine stayed.

I didn't know we HAD to have 10 cars to vote. I figured a good 5 or 6 will keep things interesting. I don't know what happened this month, just a lot of deleting, additions and extra stuff that wasn't necessary.

here are two older pictures of my car:

what front end and fenders are you going to use?

If you're done with both your cars would you enter them both as one entry? or two entries?

Also, Dregg just posted so he's the owner of the wingless silver FD, right?
