Well, I must say, the hospitality of Floridians is outstanding. I'm here in Orlando for a convention. I met with 1fastdog, FRCTom, and meangreen2000 on Saturday night.

Today, FRCTom picked me up and took me to Corvette Concepts by Jake, located in Sarasota at the Corvette Ranch. I was impressed to say the least. I met Jake and his son Brian and these guys are REAL Corvette people. I really liked their air intake system.

Jake, thanks for the invite!! I really enjoyed your hospitality. And Tom, it was a blast!!

I took several pics of their shop and thought I would share them with you all.

Frank.......Do you know the price of those European tail light assemblys? Noticed the 2 MY Vettes inside the garage had them installed...Does Jake sell them? Will probably be my first mod!

Frank,

Great photos. Thanks for posting.

ZMAN - Check ZIPs or any of the other catalogs or the corvetteforum.com mall. I think the euro look tail lamps assembly run around $350 last time I looked.

The garage looks great, but I hope they've changed their attitude and payment policies. I had some dealings with them about 2 years ago that I wouldn't wish on anyone. They treated me like they were doing me a favor and required payment by check only and then once they had my money wouldn't ship my products. And I know I'm not the only one.

Again, this was a couple of years ago and maybe they're better now, but I know they won't ever see another penney of my money.

I hope I don't offend anyone too badly, but whoever puts those red cove strakes on their Corvettes ought to be whacked with a tackhammer.
