Steve, to the best of my memory, the vehicle must be presented to the JSC for a varience in each area that is not specified within the JS&RG book. For example, there was a AA truck (-originally used on a lease for duck hunting?) at the San Diego meet a few years ago that had some variances given and the truck scored well. However at the same meet, when Ron Rude showed his 1927 Kentucky-bodied truck, because he did not apply for variances on items like the rear fenders (-which were 26/27 Roadster fender) we were instructed to deduct points. That was a hard thing to do because that truck was well documented and we knew those were the correct rear fenders that came with the truck. Unfortunately, the Judging Stds. did not recognize those fenders as correct.
I will tell you that in a situation where the item is not required, then full points are awarded (-no deductions given). I made the comment once that since the Stds say it is how the vehicle left the factory, then I wanted to show a stand-drive milk truck chassis just as it left to go to the body builder. Since it would not have a body, rear fenders, upholstery, top, windows/curtains, etc., it could score very well. I since think the verbiage has been changed that all vehicles must have a body to be eligible to compete.
