Why pay to go to a car show?

I’ve seen a few flyers for small car shows, and quite a few last year. 20-30 bucks for your car to be in it, why? I don’t see any cash prizes for most, trophy’s at most
The one’s I go to are free for the car,

What am I missing? People like those trophy’s? Some of those entrance fees are high

Building a shop/garage options

Looking to build a 4 car garage/polebarn. 2 wide, 2 deep, not finished inside, pretty much bare bones What are some cost effective options? I’m getting quotes 30-35000. I know lumbers high, is that reasonable? Any cheaper kits?

Transport company

What broker/companies have you used to transfer a non-running car? Gotta go from GA to MN, thanks!

Plastic on 77 440 block??

Just pulled this 77 440 out of a RV. On the pass rear of the block, I noticed a coating that was cracking. I pulled on it, and it snapped. It’s brittle but hard. I first thought JB weld fixing a soft plug, but there is no plug undernieth it, and no cracks noticed yet What the heck is it? It’s semi flexible, and has a grey look where it breaks. Just on the rear of the pass side

1965 New Yorker girl perculation

65 413 w a newer edelbrock performer. Just parked after a 20 minute drive, flooded, had to floor to start, never did that before

Came home, removed air cleaner, and could hear it boiling

What’s the biggest/best spacer I can get under there? I’m willing to go to a skinny air cleaner
