I'm getting ready to show my 87 vert in the Battle Creek Corvette Club car show at Charlton Park (Hastings, MI) on May 15. Here is a pic I took of one of the cars there last year. What a beautiful engine bay!

Do you possibly have a pic that shows the painting? From the angle of the pic, it looks like one of those images that people would paint on the sides of their vans in the 80's...beautiful engine bay by the way!

I will take lots of pics at this year's show. I have seen this car there for the last 2 years so I will get a close up shot and post it.

Damn, I'd like to get over there and see the cars, but my grandmother has the nerve to have her birthday on the same day!!! And she only turns 82 once, so post some pics if you would when you get back.
