I have owned this C4 for about 3 1/2 years. I bought it from a female physician in a rural part of Alabama, who nearly cried when I drove it away. The first owner was truly a "Corvette Person" and this Torch Red Coupe was pampered, garage kept & covered with a car cover. This example set the standard for it's new owner, me. Shortly after acquiring my vette, I joined a local Corvette Club. The club invited me to enter a local car show, so I went. At the show, I really enjoyed seeing the enthusiasm in the car owner eyes and talking with them about their individual "Babies". At the awards presentation I won a third place trophy, and the hook was set! Since that event, I have had a "mission" to get my C4 looking as good as some of those cars I saw at that show. I began by detailing, detailing, detailing! You have to start with a clean car and then worry about progressing into the restoration and "tweaks". I soon saw the need for a paint job to fix some little imperfections, and as my new best friend who own the local Corvette Shop said, the snowball started rolling down the hill! Roger L.
