This past week, the NCRS National Convention was held in French Lick, IN. SYC member Bill Wente was presented with a special award for his 67 Corvette. Everyone knows Bill for his Chevelle's. Bill also has a KILLER 67 427 Corvette that he has owned since 1977. This week, Bill received the NCRS 5 Star Bowtie Award. Congrats Bill!

Bill and I were able to spend a good amount of time together this week. I had the pleasure to carefully look over Bill's car, and soak in the abundance of original bits and details of his 45k mile car.

The week was concluded with the awards banquet, where Bill, Kevin Dewitte, and myself were able to have dinner together. A terrific dinner with some of the finest people I have come to know in the hobby. Furthermore, Kevin's 9000 mile 71 LT-1 was awarded the 4 Star Bowtie award, along the Duntov Mark of Excellence award. SYC member Matt Barczak was in attendance of the convention, to receive the 4 Star Bowtie award for his 70 LT-1.

I was so smitten with photographing all of the cool details in Bill's car, I never shot an over pic of his car. I dug up this video on line, from when Bill was getting the car judged for the 4 Star award.

Congrats!!
