New Guy Bee Jay

It was rude of me not to introduce myself as my first post instead of asking a technical question right off. But my name is Bee Jay. I have a yellow '79 L-82 that I bought new in 1979 right out of college. I've been busy refurbing and hot rodding a Porsche the last ten years, and the internet has been very helpful with that. I'm ready to get busy again with my Corvette, so I'm joining this forum. You can see my car here:

I'm into high performance mods and autocross competition. I will admit to concoursing the car when it was new.

Welcome……that’s a good looking Vette you have there.

You just need to change those early 90’s wheels…

Say good bye to the 85 wheels. I recently bought a set of chrome Z06 replicas. I'm working on getting the rear 18x10.5s to fit. Someone on this board made a custom rear sway bar for wide wheels. I need to get in touch with him. Oh, I still have the original Pace Car style wheels in the garage.
