How To Videos
Hello all,
We are beginning the thought process on developing a series of How To videos that will be thorough, detailed, and as clear as possible for Corvette owners of any experience level! We have a number of ideas on what kind of videos we will be doing, but we also want to hear straight from you guys on what you would like to see!
I want to hear every suggestion you've got! Think back on some projects you've worked on where you would have liked having a step by step video along the way! Nothing is too simple or too complicated. We've thought about doing everything from oil changes, to sway bar adjustments, to interior dyeing, to seat cover removal and installation, and much more. We want to offer a wide array of videos to help beginners and experts alike!
What kind of How To videos do you want to see?

I'll be making a thread once we have a schedule of videos confirmed in the following weeks! There's no time frame set at the moment as we are still in the development stages, but I'll be updating everyone as much as possible! -Nick

Thanks for all the great suggestions guys! Crosis has a point! 
I wish I could guarantee we'll be able to do every single suggestion, but who knows! We have winter coming up, so we'll have some time on our hands without any shows going on!

I appreciate your desire to do this. I have a recommendation. Once you decide what you want to do for the first several ones post a Thread for each one. Let us provide you with existing links on videos, Threads or input on the topic. You could end up using that info in developing the video. I have done several extensive write-ups on a number of issues like replacing the electrochromatic mirror and parasitic drain. I also have hundreds of links on virtually every topic related to the C5.
You might even decide some existing material is good enough and you just provide a link to it so you can use your money for providing information that does not exist to the level you desire. This Forum only has a few sticky Threads to try and address such issues. Some are so long you could spend a day going thru them. You could end up being a great resource to owners by providing videos or other resources, or both.
Good luck, it's a lot for you chew on.

I'm excited to see this project develop here, it's something we've been wanting to do for quite some time but haven't had the time to sit down and do these kind of processes to get it started. I've been spending some long nights watching videos and doing research to see what's already out there, how we could add to it, and how we could fill in the gaps for stuff that isn't already out there and easy to find.When I sit here at my desk and look out at everyone else on this floor, I see so many gold mines of information sitting in the heads of many of the guys up here. We have so many knowledgeable Corvette guys up here and I can't wait to start getting them involved with making the videos and seeing them do their magic as we film!

This is a F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S IDEA
After just returning from a 756 mile trip last week to Bowling Green Ky. I would love to see a video detailing; "How To Soundproof And Reduce The Noise Level In Your Vette"
