My stay with you and Foiney was a visit that I will not soon forget. I felt very special and your hospitality was more than I could have hoped for.

A great thanks to Valeria and the Carolina chapter for organizing a party at Valeria's house.

Jack,

It looks like the aluminizing is a bit heavy on your exhaust pipes.

Roanoke Virginia

As I head north I made an overnight visit to Wib Wood in Roanoke VA.

Wib has owned his 61 for 39 years and has every piece of paper showing titles etc. Of course he and the car come from West Virginia and they only have 10 cars in the state......... just kidding..... I think

Wib also took me to the Star of Roanoke, built in 1949 , 100 feet high overlooking Roanoke





Wib





My first corvette was a 61 that I bought in 1969 unfortunately, it melted in a car fire

Car Fix

I left Roanoke at 8 am, it was raining, but my third latch worked like a charm and no leaks. I out drove the weather and it was clear after an hour. Great road, 81 to 51 to 340 to 270 to 495 to Chevy Chase.

The trip was not without incident. On a lonely stretch of road my alternator bolt broke again. My bracket cracked in Texas and as some of the other posts show, we replaced the bolt in Florida , thanks to Cor24vett near Panama City. The bracket was still broken and the stress caused the bolt (long one) to break again in Chapel Hill NC. We replaced it and off I went.

Well on the road to West Virginia, it broke again, I pulled over to the break down lane and drove at 10 miles an hour to the next exit.

Well here I am in Weyers Cave VA , hoping to find a car parts store....... right

I see in a distant field a bunch of old cars and a tow truck, so off I go down a country side road and find

Van's car care



I go inside and find Van. Explain my problem and he says I think we can fix it.

Well, see the pictures







Welding my bracket





All fixed , bracket welded, new bolts and all for $ 39
