She's been sitting for quite some years so the valve covers leak and so does the tranny pan...minor fixes but need the time to repair them.

Did you ever find a set of orig alum wheels for it? I've got the originals off my '81 and have recently decided to replace them with either Coys or TT2s.

Nice vettes by the way.
