POLO EVENT FUNDRAISER |

Over a dozen
PBCC Vettes added some horses to a polo match to raise money for Josie Nunez
– a local girl suffering from tumors in her brain and on her spine. Also in
attendance were actor Tommy Lee Jones and John Walsh (America’s Most Wanted).
Thanks to all
those that participated to help this little girl and her family. |

SUMMER MUMMERS |
|||
|
Who is that masked woman? It must be time for Summer Mummers! Summer Mummers is a good old fashioned melodrama – cheer for the hero
and heroine – boo and throw popcorn at the villain. And throw popcorn at each other. There’s nothing like the fun at Summer
Mummers. Don’t wear your good clothes because popcorn will be flying like snow
in a blizzard. |

ways you can be part of Corvette history….purchase a brick to be placed at
the NCM….loan your Vette to the NCM for display…become a member of the NCM. If you have any

TECH TIPS: |
|||
|
Have you ever wanted to add a little
color to your underhood area of your Corvette but don’t want to spend the
money on some of the accessories? Here
is a simple mod to do that. Start by removing the liner from the
hood. There are 15 round plastic retainers that pull straight
out. You need to clean liner prior to painting. You can use a
nylon bristle brush and air to clean. Note: Brushing the hoodliner may pull
the fibers, changing the sharp appearance of the hoodliner. Use caution. You may use Rust-oleum Flat Black over
the emblem area. Apply two coats. You can then use Tester's model paint in a
tube which can be purchased from a hobby shop ($3.00 per tube). You can
use silver, red and white. Start by outlining the outside area with
silver. It's easy because of the raise edges. Here is the outlining complete and ready
for some color It takes about 1/2 hour, with 2 coats. Next, paint
white in the flag area, then move on to the red. The red may soak into the
raised fiber. It may take 4-5 coats to look better. Then, fill in the rest of the colors on
the hoodliner. Here is a picture of a completed product. Please refer to the
C5 emblem during painting as the picture shown has the checkerboard colors
reversed. Let it dry and reinstall on car with
original plastic retainers. This took about 2-3 hours and cost
$15-$20. There are several color combinations. So, paint it the
way you want to.
