Congratulations on your purchase. Also for having the initiative to jump in with both feet and start fixing it up. Your chrome rims look great, btw. Enjoy it - they're fun cars!

Welcome to the forum. Congrats on a nice buy/looking Vette. I noticed you don't have emergency hood release cables, something you should think about. Wheels, just make sure you get the correct back spacing and don't forget the wave.

Wow, talk about jumping right in - that's great! So much work, I presume you got a great deal on it?

There's nothing like getting the Corvette fever in your blood .. and leaving some of YOURS on IT, no doubt.

Congrats and welcome!
