Dealer Question

[Alwyn678]

Sounds like a very nice corvette.....I love the old Sting Ray's Do you have any pics of the car. If you really want some good information on vette's check out www.corvetteforum.com [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]

Alwyn, my brother actually posted pics of the car in the C3 section of teh Corvette Forum a while back. I poke around OT alot. My handle over there is DanTheVetteMan.

What would be the best method of removing surface rust from the tank? Dad wants to get the NCRS Survivor award, so he doesn't want to alter the originality of the tank. POR-15 or something like that? Dan

Daniel,
Try contacting Al Grenning for the dealer info, his database seems to be larger than what is available on the other sites. [email protected].
Also, Bloomington Gold awards Survivor status (I think they have a copyright on it). The NCRS equivilant is the Bowtie award.

Chris, thanks for the info. The Bowtie Award is the one Dad is after. Anyone have any suggestions for clearing up the rust on the tank? Dan

Daniel,
Regarding the tank, it would probably be best to contact Chuck Berge who is the 1968-72 NCRS National team leader and tech advisor. His contact info is in the front of every Corvette Restorer issue.
My guess would be that he tells you to reinstall it EXACTLY the same way it was when removed. Hope this helps.

The Bowtie award is a difficult achivement. I was involved with this at the 2000 NCRS Nationals in Galveston, TX. The cars go on a lift and are viewed top to bottom. I have a 1965 that was signed off for Bowtie judging at Waco last year. Your car must go through flight judging at a regional event and be signed off by Chuck. Chuck owns a silver/silver 435 roadster that I owned for some time.
