No regrets today. 15 year old son helped me detail the car and then we went for an hour long cruise. Best part? 5 mins before we get home he says " had fun hanging out with you today." Exactly what I was going for. Man, it's so much more than a car.

Regret #1 buying a car from Corvette Mike
Regret #2 not buying a car with a crate engine for a lot less and not worrying about originality

Only regret is not getting a Vette sooner.
