Mid America Motorworks, our host for the 9th Annual C3VR Member Gathering during their C3 Fest event, has offered to pick up the tab for the parts and labor of a new carpet set to one volunteer who is willing to bring their Vette and have it be part of 2 seminars: 1) Carpet Set Creation, and 2) Carpet Set install.

The only catch is that your car MUST be at C3 Fest (May 19-21, 2011) and would be out of commission for Thursday & Friday. On Thursday they'd be taking out the old carpet, and prepping it for the install on Friday.

Please reply to this thread by this Friday, April 15th if you are interested in taking them up on their offer. If more than one person replies, I will randomly select names from all that are interested.

We'll also draw an alternate, in case the winner can not make it the event.

Thanks!

I have already had MAM replace my carpeting (front and back) and also put in new seats. Looks good. Mike can use my 81 for demonstration if he wants. Just offering the use of my "baby"

I'm confused, if you recently had them replaced, why would you do it again now?

btw, when the concept of C3 Fest first came up between me and Mike, the plan was to have my 79 there to do the carpet thing. At that point, there was no mention of it being free, just that I needed it done, and was volunteering to use my car. I expected to be paying for it.

Good call. I was just going to drive up if I was selected. You can remove my name from the chance. I haven't registered. Thanks for catching that.

When will we know who the lucky winner is? Before the event?

I would want to arrange for an alternate mode of transport for getting us back and forth from the hotel if my car's not available
