Thank you for the post.

I have come to the realization that neither I nor my 1963 Corvette have any place in the NCRS.

Well wishes to all.

Re: Michael Hanson

I was an active member of NCRS for several years and was lucky to have been a friend of Michael Hanson's since our early days in school together. Mike has been active in Corvette circles since the early 1960s, serving as a mechanic for several area GM dealerships and one one of the pioneering judges for Bloomington Gold. He was also a restoration specialist for Classic Motors which was one of the first Corvette restoration shops in the country in the mid 1970s. Mike also owned and operated his own Corvette specialty shop (Corvette Research)in the Downers Grove area before moving to Florida several years ago. You won't meet a more knowledgable person regarding the early Sting Rays nor will you find anyone that has accumulated and compiled more information and documentation of the correct history of these same cars. You have a minimum of experts still available to you that were actually there when these things were put together (before Bubba was born) and if people like Mike Hanson decide to close up the book then the hobby will definitely suffer for it. In the future, when you have questions on your 63/64 Vette...You're going to be relegated to getting your help from one of the "online experts" who learned it from reading it somewhere or I guess you can always refer to the JG. This post will probably be deleted long before it makes it to the discussion board but...not to worry...I've lost interest anyway.
