Ridetech 48 Hour Corvette Build Thread

[bret]

Josh, where are you guys located? Im in Norfolk VA, so Im sure I can't make it, but just curious...

Just to clarify...anyone is welcome to attend the Corvete build this week. Bring your hotrod!

There will be a significant number of manufacturers here to oversee the installation of their parts...Rick Love from Vintage Air, Mike Copeland from Lingenfelters, Will Baty from Centerforce. Gabi Baer and Rick Elam from Baer Brakes, Michael Manning from American Autowire, John McLoud from Classic Instruments, Mark Bowler, Dave Schardt from Forgeline, Robin Lawrence from Holley EFI, Tim Anderson from Racepak, Paul Hammond from C&R Racing, Josh Powers from Custom Image Corvette, and likely a few more. Chad Reynolds is hosting the show on the live webfeed. Tim Strange is coming up from NAshville...Bill Howell adn Brian Finch have threatened to make an appearance. IT should be a good party!



The Corvette build will be kind of like an old fashioned barn raising...a bunch of friends getting together to eat, drink, and build a car. The TV camera thing is a happy coincidence. We've made a lot of preparations, but there is no script and everything is live. If something goes wrong...even VERY wrong...you'll see it as it happens. Hopefuly our collective experience will allow us to acheive the same succes as the first 48 Hour build in 2011.

A late development for the project...Snap On Tools and Monster Energy Drink have gotten on board. They have lots of friends that we don't even know yet...looking forward to that!

If you want to watch live...and participate in the live chatroom, here is the link: http://www.ridetech.com/48hourcorvette/

See you all on Tuesday morning!
