Here's mine parked at the Adam's Polishes tent at the 2007 Bloomington Gold show. That's my youngest daughter standing between my car and the C5-Z06. And another one shot in Southwestern Wisconsin ... Steven

With the Vette safely tucked away for the winter ... Spring 2007 brought opportunities to start planning the inside ... starting with electrification! As we all know, power is an important part of cars and garages! So, I wanted plenty of light and plenty of power! So, I planned on six...

I've got copies of the NCRS judging sheets for 1984 - 1986 Corvettes, and there's only one spot that I can find where there is any mention of weatherstripping, and that's just one of three items being judged. If your weatherstripping is noticeably worn, then you'll get a deduction for...

Hello, and welcome to CAC! I had my '95 coupe judged for Bloomington Gold in 2006 - and won it! They do check for correct engine code, and I made sure that I'd cleaned the pad prior to the show. I wanted to ensure that it was clear and legible. I'll be happy to answer any questions I can...

The roof is complete, and I painted the trim around the door before the siding went on ... As I got everything ready for the siding, there became an obvious problem trying to get the car into the garage! That big bump between the original driveway and the garage floor was just too...

History ... When we bought our house, it came equipped with an OLD garage that I suspect might have been built in the 1920's or earlier. Anyway, it was in very poor condition, such that we had to tear it down in 2001 ... There was a big empty spot where the garage used to be, and all I did...

I think that you should have some shock travel left when the suspension is fully released, and you should also have some shock travel left when the suspension is at full compression. How much travel does your suspension have when compared to the travel of the shock? Steven

I don't have an '84 - I bought a '95 in early '06. I must be one of the few that loved the look of the '84 (inside and out) from the beginning. I was tired of the C3 style by the end of the '82 model year. The early C3's were a good looking car, but the drop in performance coupled with the...

On my '95, there is a set of buttons just to the right of the steering wheel. One of them is labeled "ENG/MET", and is used to switch between English units and Metric units. Steven

Are you talking about the DTC's set by the CCM? Those are accessible following the FSM instructions. Steven

Evening update ... New battery installed. Lessons learned ... 1. I bought new terminal bolts to replace the one for the positive side (very corroded). Did you know that the positive termonal bolt is LONGER than the negative terminal bolt? I didn't, and spent a good bit of time trying to get...

Afternoon update ... Had to move car out of the garage to finish up my insulation project. It started slowly. When I moved it back into the garage, it started slowly. I concluded that I needed to remove the battery for further testing (although it was looking more and more likely that the...

'95 coupe six speed LT1 stock Here are the relevant details ... Thursday evening, when I started the Vette to move it back into the garage, I noticed that it turned over just a bit reluctantly. Not enough to keep it from starting, but just on the edge of my consciousness. Yesterday morning...

I don't regard it as dangerous - just different. Are you saying that your convertible doesn't feel like your coupes do when their tops are out? It could be that what I'm feeling is muscle memory - when you get used to the way car feels with the top in, and then you feel something...

I have a coupe. I know lots of people that have coupes. One of the things that coupe owners talk about is the way our coupes feel when we take the targa top out - the descriptions range from mild symptoms of less than stellar chassis rigidity to tales of feeling like the center of the frame was...

The Gold Tour starts at the Justice center, winds through the countryside, doubles back on itself (so you see Vette's coming & going!), and ends back at the Justice Center. Here's a link with a pdf map of the route ... http://www.bloomingtongold.com/?link=goldtour Steven

Got my BG special plates today - here's what they look like this year (last year they were red) ... Steven

This shot was taken at Apple Canyon State Park in NW Illinois back in October. Steven

Congratulations! I reviewed their judging sheet last year, and it looks pretty thorough. How long did they take to judge your car? Was it a team of judges? Steven

Mike - There are some owners that report obvious and disturbing noises and rattles when the roof is removed. They also report that the handling is not nearly as crisp, especially on rough or washboard roads. There are just as many owners that report no difference in the performance of the...
