Congratulations. What an accomplishment. If I need to make a hole in a firewall to pass a wire through, I bring out the drill. My vetts stay stock for only a couple of days. You have a wonderful car there.
Battery probably? I can't find a good way to replicate for my 88 either
I just replaced with a new battery, cleaned and removed all the stickers and purchased a replica Delco Freedom label and installed it. I did not install the green dot sticker, I felt that would have been insulting to the judges, I just wanted it to look period correct and the sticker did that, but anyone with knowledge of these cars would know it not the real thing. I fretted over the battery for weeks, I should have had someone check the 3rd brake light, it was the most costly item.
I lost a total of 65 points out of I believe 7,500.
I'm going from memory but I think this is the breakdown:
-15 Third Brake light didn't work
-5 Battery
-5 injectors were not original
-5 missing rubber cup in center console
-5 one tiny 1/8" tear in weather stripping on drivers door
-5 center cap locks were replaced with allen head screws
-5 EGR insulation not original
-5 rusty exhaust manifold bolt
-5 two small chips that were touched up
-10 the other two items I can't recall
I received a call this weekend from a gentleman over in TN that has the original window sticker for the car, cassette and owners manual. He even thinks he has the extra set of keys. His wife’s Father-in-law bought the car from the original owner in Florida. I had a great talk with him, he’s shipping everything to me later this week, can’t wait to see them. The car came with a ton of paperwork regarding ownership even a copy of the original title.
He had posted over on the Callaway Owners Forum, and Corvette Forum members SurfnFun & *89x2 let me know.
