75 Corvette Original part project
I am woking on a project to document specific 1975 parts absolutely original to the car. I am looking for pics of certain items and part numbers that may or may not be listed in the AIM Manual or different from the NCRS Judging Guide. If anyone owns an original 75, please PM me for more specifics. Thanks, AL

Easy Mike,
I will be having my car NCRS Judged and several items in the Judging Guide are not consistant with changes that took place later in the model year etc. etc. My car is a late build (April) and several items differ from the guide. Unless I can document their originality, I will be knocked down in points. Unfortionately I am one of those wierdo's that has contracted the NCRS disease and can't sleep at night unless the tiny part number on the hidden widget is correct.

Hi G65,
I understand the disease!
I would encourage you to work on documenting those items you listed but go into Flight Judging thinking you'll lose points on all of them.
Then... concentrate on getting ALL the OPS points to make up for those you lose.
I helped judge Operations on 16 cars at the Gettysburg Regional a few weeks ago; 68-69 and 70-72. If I remember correctly, only 4 cars got all their operations points.
As time goes by you'll probably be able to document some of the items on your list if you persevere, but don't let waiting for that documentation spoil the pleasure of having you car judged now.
Regards,
Alan
