I thought this would be a fun thread to start. There are so many great photos and stories!

@Markids77 - Fantastic before and after pictures.

@Chstitans42 - Ben, I've cut back a lot on shows and not been to C&C in over a year. The '82 is running the best it ever has. We are going out to the Graham TX show this weekend. The weather promises to be super!

There's something about Corvettes wearing Cragar S/S wheels that just makes me smile a little bit.
