I've been following this forum for years, and I finally decided to join. I'm constantly impressed with the knowledge that you all bring to the table. As for me, I bought my Dad's wrecked 65 Vert in 2006 in order to help him save his house. Despite the cash that I gave him, he lost his house anyways. I left the Vette with him until two weeks ago, because I never had the heart to take it from him. Earlier this year, I realized that if I didn't take this project on, this beautiful car was just going to rot away. I believe that my father was overwhelmed with the amount of work to be done, therefore he never really finished anything that he started on it.
The car is in horrible shape, and every discovery that I make seems to add thousands to the repair bill. I've included pictures of the car shortly before moving it out here to the southwest. Now begins the long road to restoration. I'll be leaning on the skills and expertise of this forum throughout my journey.

Default Thanks Guys!

While I'm sure that it will be a challenge, the idea of having anything close to what I see you guys with, is more than enough motivation. I'm going to do my best to document the process.

Cheers,
