Yeah, I think I'm going to have a number of those!

Great looking ride! If you are going to do the exhaust manifolds with POR15, sand blast them good first.

Default Congratulations fellow Trophy Blue roadster'er

As with you, I've been in a long search for a unique mid-years corvette. I finally found mine in July (long story) which wound up being an almost duplicate of yours. Many great years ahead of pride and ownership, I look forward to sharing common learnings as I get to re-learn working on a "real" car without electronics. Cheers

Another +1 on the POR-15 Manifold thing. I didn't blast mine, but I did spend a good hour on each with a wire wheel. It one of the simplest things to do to make your engine bay pop!
