Good group of Corvette owners here. You can usually find a solution to most any problem here. [8D]

Hey Bill:
Here's another trick I have used a few times to get the debris out of the radiator front. Gently use a dry scrub brush on the front of the rad and after get a small air blower attachment for an air compressor and blow it out from the back of the radiator. not only will you get the rest of the hair, leaves, bugs etc but you will also get out the little pieces of gravel and other road debris. It will make an immediate difference I bet about 15 to 30 degrees cooler. enjoy your ride.
