I have a question for everyone

My first car in high school was a 68 roadrunner 440/4 speed fast as h--l but a real bondo bomb i loved that car,when i go to shows with my 66 cuda [older cosmetic resto] i respect everyones vehicle [i remember my roadrunner and how i loved it] no matter what it looks like i don't nitpick anyones car. My car is in fair condition not banged up but when i go to shows i feel like a turd in a punch bowl i don't go for trophys just to have something to do and show off my odd ball big back window. Honestly i do get a little jelous when i see a nice car and wish that i was able to do that to mine but it passes after talking to the owner and listen to how long it took and the amount of working overtime to get it to this state,i'm unable to get overtime plus i'm building a car with my son and i have realized that i'm not as young as i used to be [the aches and pains]. My cuda may never see me restoring it anytime soon i don't think at this point
