Thanks to all!!!
i just wanted to say thank you for all the help y'all (a little southern lingo there)
have given me in the last 8 months.
i've been "lurking" around here getting great info to "de-bubba-ize" my 80 L-48 i picked up this past march. many times, as i drank my morning coffee, a post would be front and center discussing my "project for the day"- that sometimes turned into a project for the month
...

i appreciate it!!!
if i knew then what i do now (mainly from this forum), i think i would have passed on this one. questions like:
why does this 80 vette have a 160 mile speedo? passing it off as 31,xxx actual miles?
left side birdcage rust at the kick panel.
right side rear bearings. i could go on...

Your story is not uncommon...but the problems you've found are not insurmountable. And, you are learning about your car every step of the way. Consider the "road bumps" as initiation hazing toward becoming a C3 'regular'. 
Enjoy the ride!
