Theres a group of us coming from San Antonio but as of now the weather isn't looking too good. Maybe have to take the daily driver instead of the Vette.

I will be there on Saturday at the Al Knoch booth watching the guy replace convertible tops. I am going to try this myself on my car and want to watch the guy do it. Maybe pick up some tricks and tips.

Best bet is to just bring car to show and let him do it. My buddy had two local shops try it and destroyed two tops, Al's guy did it at the show and to this day it's still perfect and fits tight. He's good at tweeking old frames to work right..just experience doing it..and it shows.

You are only about 20 min from Hobby airport. I don't remember exactly, but I think it is around ten dollars to get in.

Well I have a digital camera. I guess I can load a bunch of stuff on snapfish and post the link. I better take a notebook so I can take notes. Sometimes pics say a thousand words, but pics with no description can leave you wondering WTF.
