Corvettes of Carlisle - 2012

Yep, Gerri and I flew to Pennsylvania and did Corvettes of Carlisle, the largest Corvette event and swap meet in existence.  Check out the highlights (from my perspective):

Yes, that's Ty, his wife Bonnie and Gerri.  Ty and Bonnie had us over for the weekend.  Visiting Carlisle was one of the many things we did.  We all had a great time. 


Over the last few years several people have asked why I took on such a needy project.  I had never really questioned it but at some point I guess I started wondering the same thing.  That was until I saw this guys project.  Take a look at the 4 before pictures then look at the completed car in the background.  What this guy did is truly amazing.  Now I feel just fine about our project.  I have no second thoughts at all.


Another view of Corvettes of Carlisle.  I took this picture because I was able to get all 3 empty spaces at the show in one photograph.


This is a really cool race car.  I took this picture because it's what Ty is going to build when he retires.


This was my favorite car at the show, hands down.  If I had had these pictures a couple years ago they would have helped with many aspects of the restoration.  A and B pillars come to mind. 


As I understand it, it's the actual vehicle that GM used at exhibitions.  The cut-aways are awesome.  Check out the transparent valve cover.


I wish I had taken more pictures.  This car is super informative, especially for those that might just be starting a C2 restoration.  I bet if someone tried they could get enough information off of the plaque in the picture to find a web page that has more pictures.  That's a challenge for my blog buddies.  If you find a web page let me know.  I'll post it. 


And finally, I thought I'd post another video.  It's much like the one I posted earlier except this one is narrated by Gerri.  I believe she confirms the color as blue.  Check it out by clicking this link.

That's it.  Work will resume this weekend.  Thanks for watching.
