Long Winter
Well at least it almost over, Did a lot over the winter as far as upgrades.
Had my seats re covered with new foam and installed the Burlwood trim through out the car. I also have som items comming from American Hydro Carbon. Coolant covers, Inner fender covers and the cowl and wipers all in Torch red carbon. It should look pretty good. We have our first car show of the seoson at the Hamburgh fairgrounds this weekend and am looking forward to getting there. here are some Pics.

Lookin' good Steve! The bling in the engine compartment will probably be happening to mine slowly but surely.
I'm by Andre and like him, just waiting for the weather to break and the spring monsoons to clear all of the crud of the roads around here. Well, that and for my back to heal enough that I can get in and out of it.

LOL.....I'll concede to you there.........I never had enough money to live in the Malibu area where the mudslides mostly occur, but I've seen my share of L.A. eathquakes, and now that I live in Northern California I've also experienced plenty of wildfires....at very close quarters!

I've been running it about a half hour once a month since putting it away last November.
We don't have much snow but still a little early to get out.
Like the rest of you in the north I am ready for winter to be over.

Worst Situation
In Maine we still have at least a month more of snow. On Friday the first it snowed all day. Once the snow leaves we go to Mud Season and it will take the better part of April before the roads are free of sand, or should I say millions of stones.
In Florida, the car is in the final stages of a two year build. With any luck will have it on the road later this month.
Hopefully, this will be the last year with no Corvette to drive. May - October - Maine car - November - April - Florida car.

Here in NE Illinois (Devil Dog can back me up), snow on the ground today and more salt on the roads from the storm on Tuesday. If we get enough sun to melt the snow in my driveway, I may back it out to run for 20-30 minutes and get some pictures.
