North Point Restoration and Collision

Corvette Repair and Paint Tech Session for The Corvette Society! I would like to thank Gerard, Marc & George for hosting a great educational tech session. I would also like to thank Billy G who helped set up the event. Gerard and I have been friends for close to 30 years. He prepared a tech session covering all of the below topics.

I thank all of our members plus members of the VCCA who attended this event in 20-degree weather!
