My calipers are drying as we speak they'll be red! and My wheels should ship out tomarrow!
So if you see my car, it's admiral blue, should have black Z06 (similar to the motorsport wheels) on it.
I'm hoping the weather is ok on the 19th and that I get to trailer it down there.. which is the plan! I'm anxious!

I was reading through the rules.. I have to have max 1/8 of a tank of gas. And either a locking gas cap or tape the cap? which I suppose would be a good idea. Also will have to disconnect the battery, which is good too..
I guess I'm going to pick up a locking gas cap tomarrow.
I'm excited as all He||! just over a week away!

BTW If anyone has any suggestions for anything with this show let me know. This is the first time we are going to have a car there. Thanks again!

There are alot of show cars and cars for sale. There are usually a chevy dealer or 2 there as well. Lot's of vendors for parts and just about anything corvette. It's a fun event. I've only been to it I think 2 or 3 times.
I'm just entering my car for fun it's not 100% mint or anything. i just feel like showing off all my work. Espcially since my car has about 58K on it now.

Look forward to meeting you guys (and gals, I hope!) at the VetteFest. My car will be in the Showcase Display-Chip's Choice Reunion. It's being shipped to Chicago next Tuesday and I'll be flying in on Thursday.

Took a quick break from detailing it. I have a little more to do on the interior, I need to clean the half shafts, and rear suspension up a bit. I painted the front calipers and Theresa is working on the rear right now.
I will call about my wheels tomarrow, I am hoping they did ship out on friday, if so I will have a good chance at getting them in time. They should be mounted balanced and ready to bolt on. I'm getting anxious.
We'll I gotta get back to working on it.

I was thinking of doing the used parts thing.. but I it may be a while before I'm setup for that.
