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.
