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,
If Borla will contribute an ATAK system for free, I will contribute my install services and authorship services for free in return.
Really, nice idea bro. I'll be watching for your updates.

Sounds like a great idea with one caveat for me. I hope the installs are done by EVERYDAY folks and not a bunch of professional installers.
The idea for me is what can I accomplish with my own tools, etc and not what a professional with every tool available can do. I realize some OP's have better facilities than others but I'd like to see what the average (whatever that is) owner can do. If it quickly progresses to nothing but professionals doing installs most owners aren't going to attempt it imo. I want to see REAL DIY type projects.....
It sounds like an excellent idea and might sell a lot of product for the right vendors.....

It will be one of "US" a different Corvette Forum Member each time.
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

Comprehensive Virtual Build
That's an awesome idea, Chip. So many times have persons indicated that they weren't able to find a DIY thread on an install. This will bring it all together--especially for those aftermarket mods that correlate to one another.

Chip, keep me posted. I'm watching the thread, but PM me if you need some help. I was kidding about the ATAK system.
Well, not really !
RRRRRRR. Just give me a heads up - I am willing to participate
Peace to my brother
