1953 Corvette Restoration Questions

[Jay P.]

I am restoring a 1953 Corvette (number 103) and soon will be restoring # 250. I have several questions: the first question is where can I buy a radiator tag for my '53 Vette. I have not been able to find one. The second question is there a more current version of the NCRS 1953 to 1955 Scoring Form. The one I have is from Summer of 1983. Also, is there a more current version of the 1953 to 1955 Corvette Judging Manual. My manual is from the summer of 1989, fourth edition. Thanks, Jay

Hi Jay, Did you Try Corvette Central they have it for 1958 year, if it is a Harrison. I don't know much about 53s. I suspect if you are a new member contact Roy Sinor, he is the judging chairman for NCRS & he will help you with scoring forms. Go to the home page on this NCRS site click on NCRS store, it has all the newest judging manuals. If you didn't receive your copy of the Driveline yet, when you do, all the books for restoration & manuals are in the back of each issue. It's a great book & lots of info for your restoration. There are some real wizards here, I'm sure you will get all the help you need just from this board. www.corvettecentral.com
Cheers,

The current book is light blue - there are several updates to the book that I keep in a seperate binder - the updates come with the book.

The tag should not be hard to find - Paragon and C.Central mentioned above.
