B – Contact Information
SCHEDULE
C
Street Class
is no changes
Mild
Custom is 0-6 changes
Full Custom
is 7 or more.
The
easiest 2 classes to explain are Tandem and Radical.
A
radical van is one where the original dimensions have been altered.
It can be:
shortened
(remove a door or 2)
lengthened
(obvious)
channeled
(body lowered over the frame by removing and reconfiguring floor)
sectioned
(steel removed below the windshield bottom)
or chopped
(steel removed from the upper panel)
All vans
with any of these mods are in the radical class automatically...EXCEPT
Multi
axle vans (more than 2) are in the Tandem class, regardless of other
modifications. Never Enough and Battlestar are radicals, but due to the multi
axle set ups, they are tandem class. Never Enough is chopped and lengthened.
Battlestar is 2 127 WB vans put together, not a Maxi to start with.
Glenda's
Black Ford is a Tandem, but not a radical, since it was built on an extended
Ford and not lengthened.
We had
to draw a line somewhere, and that is it. The differences are determined in the
judging.
In
the other classes, Mild and Full, body changes are counted as a change in the
following ways...
*Molded
flares-1 per pair
*Molded
airdam-1
*Side
markers 1 per pair
*Door
handles shaved (removed) 1 per pair, or 1 each. *Driver/Passenger=1, side and
rear=1, but rear only or side only is 1
*Frenched
(sunken) antennae=1 each
*Frenched
taillights 1 per set. 4 Vette lights like in Utopia=1 change
*Molded
anything is 1 change. Visor, Wiper Cowl, hood scoop on a stock hood, window
openings, etc.
*Fiberglas
gull wings on vans that came with hinged doors do not count as a change. The
bodywork to fill the hinge holes is considered minor.
*High
tops do not count. They are installed with no bodywork, just cut a hole and
bolt them on.
*Complete
replacement hoods do not count
*Simple
emblem removal does not count. Minimal bodywork required, and in many cases,
they are stick on.
*Short,
filled seams do not count. Long ones do, in pairs.
Examples
of short seams! Top center front fender on Mid Fords, Chev and Dodge. Top of
fender at cowl.
Long
seams-most on early Fords and Dodges, vertical rear quarter on newer Fords and
Dodges.
Slider-door
vans can have bodywork done, which does count as a change. Chevs require major
reconstruction if you remove the track cover. Fords have a track at the
beltline that also requires major work. There was an insert for the track. If
that piece is used and bolted in without molding, no change.
