Default Show off your 78-79s

Just wanted to see some nice pics of your guys late 70s corvettes, I'll put my 79 up tonight with the pics from my new camera. I'm still surprised it looks as good as it does considering its parked out in the rain every day, is a daily driver, and has 120,000 miles on it. Pretty reliable car actually.

Thanks Iceman, still a few things I need to do to get it the way I want. It's taken me 3 years to get it to the point it is.

Apparently I really like the 78/79s. The black 79s been around for 22 years.
The white 79 came along last summer, supposed to be my "driver"!
