Corvette Expo

I went to the Expo in Sevierville yesterday and it was great. There were alot of very nice vettes there along with some good vendors. They had great deals on parts. Looking at all those nice C6's makes a man drool

ALL Vettes make me drool. The weather on Saturday was great. A much better turnout than the last three years (The weather played a big part in this).

I always laugh at the venders there who have tables full of rusted out junk. I did pick up some C4 interior screws while I was there. I hope no one bought an Astro Top while they were there.

There was a vender selling some wheel polish. It was $40 for the set. It looked like it did a good job as the guy polished the bottom of a coke can. But I don't have any chrome on my wheels, just clear coat aluminum.

Anyone see that busted up black C4 inside on a trailer for sale?

I heard they were not having it in fall as well from one of the vendors. Josh, is Astro Vette the one you said had bad tops?

Yes Astro Top has junk tops and their customer service is just as bad. I would be pissed if I had gotten a top that started coming unglued in a month, and Astro Tops response is to send me a tube of glue to squeeze in there and try to half *** fix myself instead of replacing the top. But yes stay away from Astro Top. I should of handed out flyers there at the show saying just that. Haha.

I am interested to hear about which vendors were there. We stopped going to that show a year ago because it took such a slide that even the tool vendors stopped going. Who else did you guys see there? And did they bring product or were they just taking orders?

Mostly small parts vendors, no big names. A mixed bag of wheels, seats and interior items.

Ikerks with their rear ends
Volunteer Vette Products, small parts mostly fastners.
Astro Tops

Individuals with different items. It would be much better if there were some big names with samples of their product. I live within a 1hr drive so I usually go to see if I run across something I can use and to see the array of cars.
