the News
Car Show coming up in April - great show to attend, went last year - here is the show info: Car Show - Grant BBQ Festival
All information on the show will be published here: Vettes for Vets II
First time back in Grant at Corvette Tech this year - cleaned up the shop a bit and made more room by moving the 93 closer to Mikey's 01 and the 82 - still have room to move the 82 forward or move the 93 back to work on the 82 - nothing is boxed in. Set for a few weeks out to build a park bench so we can have a place to sit outside for our cookouts that will happen more often now that the holidays are past. Here's the gallery: Corvette Tech 01/13/2024
Is ready for the festivities to begin! If you can read this post, you're invited to the cookout today starting at 10am in Orlando, FL.

Corvette Brotherhood Cookout is back on as of September 1, 2023:
October 21 from around 10am until 11 - event info: https://www.corvettebrotherhood.com/events/corvette-brotherhood-cookout
Standby for an alternate date for the show. 99% chance it will happen next year between January and March. October is not in the cards as Celebration Brewing Company isn't going to be open yet (construction delays). This is a GOOD thing as Lake Mirror Classic Car Show happens on the same weekend in October and this gives me more time to get a $15k sponsor for the show.
