Default Corvette Wish List?

What's the number one thing you're hoping to get from Santa this Christmas for your Corvette?

I would like a new steering box, but I think my Santa might be too poor this year!

I haven't asked anyone for anything for Christmas so I will be surprised. I just want Santa to bring warm weather again so I can start getting my car washed again.

I want my company's stock to go back up so I can paint my '69 as I had planned. I was in line to get in into a local shop when things really dropped and my stock went down by 50%. Might be years now Work on my Corvette has come to a complete halt.

In the mean time I have been getting a lot done on my '38 Dodge biz coupe. I had some parts stock-piled, but I am running through them pretty fast

here are the steel smoothie running boards I just finished:

I could always use another vette...but that might be a little bit for his sled.

So maybe a new tach

A new carpet set came in the mail but I'm not aloud to open the box yet. I just bought new 3pt. seat belts for a christmas gift to myself, and the radio just blew so I might be spending some christmas dough on a new radio with mp3 jack.

OK, I'll jump in this evening. My Wife paid for this and I ordered early as they seem to be produced on demand and you have to wait. And I did for three weeks or so but it's here! Perhaps too early but you never know with Corvette suppliers??

So what is it? That's a cabin, sturdy vinyl, weather-proof cover for a C3 convertible. Put your top down in the spring and never put it up until autumn thus avoiding movement damage. Have a show in the summer and rain threatens? Then just pop this on. Attaches at the windshield wipers, bottom of the doors, and normal soft-top latches on the rear deck. Very nice unit.
