I like it Adam! I know you'll enjoy it.

If you need any help, my hubby is just finishing up his 70 coupe. Just PM him anytime. His forum name is TNBusa. Or PM me and I'll ask him.

Good luck and have fun!

Default Congratulations!

Welcome to the 78' silver anniversary club! I know how happy you are right now because I remember how my husband and I felt when we got our 78! We are also working on ours (just ordered $500 plus in parts today for the inside). Good Luck and Have fun! I just took the vette out today for a ride and there was nothing like the wind in your hair, and the open air!

They are more of a sunset orange. It is painted on.

ALL RIGHT! Congratulations.
No matter which list you use, they never get shorter! It will be fun when the kids get a little bigger to help turn some wrenches and enjoy it with you.
Good luck with it.
