Gary, kudos for the humble way you word, it but it could make people think you and the C8 were last. Actually, you were tied for fourth place and beat out the C1, C3 and C4 entrants, and even though I am probably biased as a C5 "caretaker", I still believe your car was the equal of any in the unmodified category!

Actually, I am surprised the C2 didn't do better. Come on.....a '63 SWC; the big daddy! You would have thought the spine down the window would garner 100 votes by itself.

Thank you Kris, I really appreciate the support of my other generation brothers too!

Although, most of them have remained silent!

That's OK though, they are real friends when you need them.

I hope you get your's finished by then. Good Lord, it makes me tired just looking at all the work you've accomplished with it so far! From looking at your photos in your build thread you're either a professional photographer, or you have the best camera phone on the planet!

Thank you for the kind words and support zone-7!

This is a great community. It seems we get along well and don't bicker near as much as some of the others do.
I've always been able to find help here when needed and try to help when/where I can to give back.

I have the designation of the “2015 C5 Corvette Of The Year” in my info under the avatar, so I can’t enter anymore competitions on the forum. But I’m good with that. It was fun to do.

Oh ok, I guess I misread what you meant. I was thinking you meant something about the contest was jacked up.
I'm with you on that. It is a great honor, but something I feel like once you win, it's time to move along and pass the opportunity to another deserving member.
