I am not sure my wife would say Thanks but I want to thank a Forum member BowTyeGuy for thinking of me this Christmas. You see, BowTyeGuy sent me an e-mail at the end of last week and sent me a link to a Craigs list artical about a 54 Corvette project car F/S. I sent the guy an e-mail right away...

Yeah I know there is a little over 6 months before the CAC Cruise meets at Mid America in June of 2011 but I already have my Hotel Rooms for all of the 2011 Corvette season except for this event. Has anyone checked out Hotels or Motels in Effingham yet for the event?

Tom, I trust Terry and the Pro Team staff about as far as I can throw a Corvette. Besides, they are way over priced on everything they have. I don't mind a guy making a couple of $$$ but don't try to rob someone. I got the same info you got but can't find the 54 Vette he is talking about. Maybe...

I am still looking for a 54 Corvette project car that is mostly all there. What I have found to date is mostly just bodies and they are not in good shape. If you know of a 54 project car that is mostly all there and not busted up or frame rotted please let me know VIA PM or e-mail me at...

Well you are never going to please all the people all the time, weather it be NCRS Club or your local Corvette Club. You just do the best you can and go on.

John, his last sentence says (I appreciate what the NCRS does for the hobby, but I will not be renewing my membership.) So he must belong or did belong but is not or did not renew his membership.

Vettehead Mikey you are correct if you are going to restore a Corvette back to all original condition. If you are just going to buy a driver or restore a Corvette to driver condition then you will catch flack from NCRS Members telling you that the only way to restore a Corvette is to make it all...

Well I am sure that most of you who have been out shopping with your wife or whoever have see Christmas decorations in some stors already. Gee, they almost waited till Halloween was over to start putting Christmas stuff out, ALMOST. Anyway we may as well start early also, so what is on your...

I don't know if he had or has any kids. I do know that as I was pulling out, there was a lady in the front yard up by the house. I did give the old guy my card just in case. He did ask if I would be interested in a 63 coupe. He said it has been in some guys garage or barn for sum 30 + years. I...

I would bet that Mike Yager will have his Barn Find at Carlisle, it is a 56 also. Only thing is he didn't find it. The guy who had it called Mike and asked if he would be interested in buying it. Barn Find, maybe I guess it depends on how you look at it. I am glad that Mike has it. It is a cool...

I didn't even think about taking my camera with me. I should keep a camera in my truck all the time. I believe the old guy. I don't think he will ever sell the car. If I hound him I think he will get PO ed and not let me come around. He also has a lot of C1 and C2 parts that I am going to try to...

I found a 1956 Corvette Barn find yesterday about 15 miles from my house, a friend told me about it. I went to see if the information I had gotten on it was real or not and yes it was real. There it set. Up on jack safety stands, in a pole barn covered with old heavy thick blankets. The...

If you are a car guy or car gal, click on link below. Then click on the brand you want (Chevrolet, Ford, etc) then find the model and year you are interested in and click on it. Way to cool. Pass this on to other car people if you like. American Cars by Hans Tore Tangerud

Very cool story. I know this guy. He lives in my home town of Danville IL. and his parents built and owned and opperated (as it was called back in the day) Burger Chef in Danville. I remember going there as a young boy and buying there $0.15 hamburgers, fries and a $0.10 cokes. there you go, a...

If you have never driven a 53 or 54 or even a 55 Corvette and you get a chance to then do it. They are different then any other Corvette ever made. I have driven my brother in laws 53 and drove my 54 Corvette all over the place for years and even would take the 53 and 54 out together and yes we...

Is there a date set in stone with CAC and Mid America for the 2011 Cruise Fest? Once we get a for sure date then it will make it easier to get rooms and a band and or a place to eat or will Mid America be doing the dinner thing again? That was nice. If there is a band coming, them you will have...

Kenny Yager will stop by and drink a beer. It was cool of him to show up last year and bring and drink a few with us. I think everyone who came last year should contact people in your Corvette club and get them to come. I thinkl it would be cool to maybe do the dinner like we did last year at...

I will be there again but I would like to get a little nicer place to stay.

Because it is not the size of Funfest the room rates will not be inflated for the CAC event. Someone should call some of the different Hotels and see what kind of rate we can get. You would need to know a date that you would need the rooms and about how many rooms you would need to block. I am...

Don I agree with you. Even if it a couple $$$ more as long as it is clean that is what counts. Hell that cookout they had for us last year sucked. I think the meat was not real meat, more like cardboard. I vote to move the rooms to some place else.
