Thanks for the encouragement and honesty. By the way, I fall into the "old geezer" category and as my husband would have said, I am "half-fast". (And he deserves the tribute in every way.)
In your place, I would start the learning process, and DRIVE the car. That's a good way to evaluate the car for future restoration if you decide in that direction. It'll also give you a chance to find out if this is really where your interests are longterm. NCRS is not only about restoration, but driving and enjoying the old cars. Many members are now past the restoration phase...they just enjoy their cars, drive them to meets, visit with old friends, and share what they've learned.
The worst mistake anyone can make is to reduce a Corvette to "parts in boxes", and then decide they no longer have the resolve, fortitude, patience, or interest to continue the project. Once you're at that stage, you have "crossed the Rubicon"...you go forward or you get killed. Your investment in the car will be reduced to a fraction of the purchase price, and the car may very well end its existence in the parts market.
If I were you, I'd take up Dennis on his offer to help you with the 62. You can count the number of people with his level of knowledge on these cars with about 3 fingers.
Plus in terms of proximity to you, he's pretty darn close. You will never regret joining up.
Thanks Tracy, I appreciate hearing from you. Dennis, if you read this, you are getting some really good press. Hope I don't become too big a pain in the _____, but would love to take you up on your offer of help.
...like you have made the commitmet. That's cool. I'll do what I can to help. Certainly, I don't have all the answers, but lots of people on this board do.
I will be at the meet in Leavenworth and certainly look forward to meeting you if you decide to go. If so, please look me up, kick me in the butt to remind me you are there. I enjoy the fun in this hobby - hope you are looking for the same thing. Best, Dennis
Someone needs to email her the Northwest Regional registration form...that meet is already past the no refund date. Sandra, you're going to have to move fast...fill out the registration form and mail it in, pronto.
Congrats on joining up...If you love Vettes, you're going to love it here!
The Enzian Inn, call 800-223-8511 for reservations. A block of rooms was held for NCRS until August 14...see if you can still get the NCRS rate.
NCRS registration desk opens from Noon to 6 pm on Thursday, September 13; this is where you pick up your badge, schedule, freebies, etc. Welcome reception from 6:30-7:30 pm...generally free snack foods and upay bar.
Judging starts Friday morning at 9:00am and lasts until 5:00 pm, and same schedule on Saturday. Judging for 62s is on Saturday. Try to meet your 62 Team Leader...maybe he'll be able to place you on a team as an observer judge.
