Here how it is going to work.

Some Vendors are going to give away one of their products
Some Vendors are going to sell one for cost.

We will in-turn give the product or sell it at cost to 1 lucky
Corvette Forum Member.

In Turn - that Forum Member will provide a written and photo
"How-to" Essay to be posted in the "Official Build Thread"

The idea being that we would have a comprehensive thread
that features a full build out, but on different cars.

That should give us one thread that has the "How-to" for just about
every mod you can do


Peace
Chip

What we'll do is announce what product is being offered.

Post a thread where everyone who is interested can post.

We'll draw a number and match it to a post.

That person will get it free or at cost (what ever the vendor authorized)

That person will document the install and post it to the main
"Virtual Build Thread"

Then we'll move on to the next product and repeat the process until
we have built an entire car

Peace
