Busy day today! Operation check began at 6:45 am, breezed right through with 100% score. Judge teams ganged up on it and finished up mid-day.
I didn't keep count of scoring for the other categories, definitely some areas that could be improved upon, we'll find out at the banquet Saturday evening. Cousin Paul arrived in time for some of the judging. All the judges, the Chapter Judging Chairman, the Regional Director and many others came by, and spent time with him congratulating on 59 years of ownership.

Bill congratulation to you and all involved in refreshing the car. Cousin Paul must have been overwhelmed with all the attention surrounding him and his car. Ownership for 59 years.... just amazing. Bill, well done for making this happen!

We took the '65 back to the farm Sunday, where it has lived since new. Grabbed some pix of a proud owner and his prized Corvette.
Took Paul for a several mile ride. It was like I was age 15 again, when Paul put me behind the wheel of his new '65 Corvette with 400 miles on it. 59 years ago and I remember that drive like it was last week....

The default ratio was 3.36. Paul foresaw road trips and there were multiple trips to CA and TX to visit family along with others around the country in the 60's and 70's. He recently related to me parking it overnight while visit Manhattan with concern it would be there in the morning. - Bill W
