Car Cover
I noticed the car covers this morning while at the auto parts store. It was $30 and I had a coupon for $10 off. So for ~$20 I figured it was worth purchasing to check for fit. My thoughts were; if it fit it would make a decent indoor and short term outdoor cover. I would then know that this size cover from this company fits and be able to upgrade to one of their higher end covers. And if it didn't fit I could just return it.
So I pulled up the GTM specs for the vehicle length, (The GTM is 171.5" long) and chose their size "S" which fit cars up to 15 in length' (Part Number: Autocraft AC212). It comes with a matching draw-string storage bag and is vacuum sealed in the box. My Daughter assisted as we first covered the body with a plastic drop, to keep the cover's inside clean of any potential bodywork dust, and after removing the cover from it's vacuum sealed package, we stretched it over the GTM. To my surprise, with the door mirrors folded, it fit Extremely well. With them unfolded there was about an inch of the center section of the side skirt exposed. The door mirrors are folded in pictures below. The front and rear elastic draws the cover nicely under the entire front spoiler and the majority of the rear diffuser. In my opinion, If the cover had door mirror sections one would be hard pressed to not assume it was a custom cover. When the time comes to upgrade to a higher end cover I'll be choosing one of their "S" size pieces.

Mike (MikesPMS) stopped by
Mike stopped by on his way back home on Sunday morning. I assisted as he walked me through the install of the passenger power seat track. I removed the seats cover on Saturday in preparation for the install.
Greg and Keith's GTMs. Met Greg and his wife and Jeremy of Fastproms. Two GTMs
Seeing one GTM is a very rare occurrence so what are the chances of two GTMs on one place? Since Greg was having his GTM tuned today, only an hour and a half away, I saw it as a great opportunity to to meet him and see his GTM. Keith was even closer and decided to bring his GTM over also. I took some pictures before Jeremy started his tuning.
Yet another outstanding and beautiful GTM. It was great meeting Greg and his wife as well as seeing Keith and his GTM again. Great start to the weekend.

Visit from Rumrunner
Michael was in the area and came over for a visit on Friday evening. I've managed to move slightly ahead of him on our builds. We looked over the build and discussed many items. Michael, it was great putting a real live face with the voice. I'll try and return the favor when I'm up north.
Keith's Famous and beautiful GTM.
Keith's GTM has been featured in Corvette and Kit Car magazineS. He's on the west coast. Keith was kind enough to bring his GTM over to the hotel so my wife could view it during one of our stay-cations.
