its cool to hear of judging that is not enamered with big dollar budget builds,but takes into account lower dollar builds that are clean and use some ingenuity and look outside the box for styling cues.
When our local club used to do the car show scene ,it was frustrating to see guys who put heart and soul into their rides get passed over for big money rides that were bought not built...or best paint awards going to brand new vehicles with a decal kit....part of the reason I got out of showing my car.
There must be some true satisfaction felt on your part for such an accomplishment.
I think in talking to other bike builders like ourselves,who work out of our garages for the fun/love,that the bike scene is a bit different?...in that people appreciate grass roots style building.
anyhow....Congrats...and keep up the good work.
