Hey Rick,
When do you plan on leaving for Sanford for the auto-X? I plan on going up Friday and meet Dave Cooper up there. I think I've gotten the auto-X bug. Do you have the Comfort Inn phone #? Are they full?

How about the rest of the gang? Anybody else going?

I plan on taping it, too. How do you do numbers on your Vette? Or do you use shoe polish? How do you pick a number? I think my sister is coming also. I'll follow you up Friday.

I think they will give you the numbers that are availible as per the sheet that we filled out. As far as how they put them on the car??? Maybe masking tape..I'll bring some just in case.

I just talked to Dave H. and he wants to come, also, and offered to drive his pickup and carry stuff up for us. Got my reservation for Friday night. I've got some work to do on my Vette to pass tech, like put some mufflers on it and replace the brake pads. It'll be nice to meet the babe that stole your heart.

Hey guys, You can get a # at registration sign in. Here is a link to our regions permanent # holders http://www.crnccc.com/Perm_Numbers.htm If any of these people show up, they have first dibs on those #'s. I carry a set of # templates and vinyl low tack shelf paper to cut my own #'s. They can be used on the glass or the paint with no problem. You're more than welcome to come by my trailer and make yourself a set. We'll be in the Pewter 3500 crew cab dually pulling the blue 89 (#24) in a white haulmark trailer.

Hey Dave, how much $$ for a 89 camber brace hand delivered to Sanford?

Jeff

Jeff,

Their on sale right now for $160 plus shipping of $12.50. I've got one on the shelf that could go out today or I can bring one with me and save you $12.50.

I checked your list before sending in my paperwork. I hope #33 is not taken since it's kind of hard to change the numbers on my car.



Give me a call on the brace.

Thanks,
Dave

Ive been using 5" tall, but have read where some organizations require 6", so I added a 6" set of templates to the kit. Yes I use white on my car and stick them right to the doors.

Dave, There should have been a line on the pre-registration form to request a #. I'll give you a call about the brace.

If anyone has a specific number request please check the permanent number list and if the number you want is available let me know and I will mark you registration as such.

You can check the permanent number at the following url:

www.crnccc.com

Jeff, you would do well to bring a lot of shelf paper, and of course, different colors

Dave, Jeff: is the camber brace legal in group II? And how long doe sit take to install?

It took me about 30 minutes, but I think mine was easier as I have the electric water pump. (more ways to wiggle it in there)

It was approved by NCCC National governors meeting 3 years ago for grp II. The Targa-truss was also approved for grp II

Installation is fairly simple with lots of pictures forthe LT-1/4 version. L-98's just about drop into place.

We've got them on sale right now, give me a call to order one.

Dave
