I saw that... editing posts after they were already quoted is now called a Hokie. Get with it man.

And get you some show ready pictures.







Not gonna lie and say it's 100% Perfect cause no paint job is but it is a close 99.99% But like my buddy Ch@0s would say it's a 10 yearold show car paint job on a 23 yearold car.
Yours looks real clean too! Its nice to see people that take car of and enjoy their Vettes!

@ Dogfish

Ill be honest my engine bay isen't half as clean as yours.
Until 2 years ago it had not been cleaned in 21 years.....
WHAT A MESS!
I spent about 3 r 4 hrs a day for a week getting it acceptable to me! Then the radiator busted and send anti freeze all over everything!
"think god for no opti"
So i got a good day ahead of me cleaning it back up...

I hear ya, although my car was never really dirty, it is a daily driver and getting it ready for the Beach Bums show took me 3 days from 11am to 9pm (Im not exaggerating!) Its worth it though because of all the nice things people have to say!

...I'm the kind that took the 96 to a show straight off of the track with oil sprayed under the hood (from a busted line) and rubber stuck all over the nose.

And the NCRS "Top Flight" guy beside me never said a word to me the whole time.

Hello Everyone,

I am a Corvette Newbie and proud of it! I bought my Vette last Wednesday. It is a 1992 Coupe, black with black Grand Sport Ralley wheels. I have always been a huge Knight Rider fan, and if KITT had been a Corvette, he'd look just like my Vette.


I have a dilemma I wanted to run by you guys. When I bought the the Vette, it had 2 red stripes on the left front fender. The dealer didn't really know what he was talking about and told me that the previous owner put those on to be a replica pace car. Well, after doing some research, I know that the "hash marks" are a trademark of the 1996 Grand Sport. I love the Grand Sport wheels but I have a problem with the hash marks. I plan to join my local Corvette Club, and I'm thinking that I don't want my Vette to be a "Wanna Be Grand Sport" Everyone knows that the Grand Sport was made in 1996, not 1992. Am I being too critical? I haven't removed the hash marks yet. Let me know what ya'll think.

Thanks,

John in San Antonio
