Default Corvette project

Its been a long time since I actually posted here concerning my car. I have stalled out on it and it has been moth balled since 2012. I almost finished it but I remarried gained four kids, got laid off and in the process of letting one house go back and purchasing another, and just now starting to see some light. I currently have the car stored but will be moving it to a friends shop to try to regain some steam and finish it up. So I imagine I'll be back with more questions if my luck continues to brighten up.lol






And to add the wife the kids and the boat is what held me together during the rough past two years....

I'm happy things are looking up. What do you have left to do?

RC, I have pulled the front bumper cover back off as I wasn't happy with the flex fit Wilcox part. I'm looking for an OEM one or a hard fiberglass version. It still needs side glass but have yet to to find manual window regulators at a decent price, It basically has a decent punch list of things left to do. Alignment, hose kit for the headlights, wipers need attention, and now since it has sat the calipers are leaking again.it goes on and on.lol

I really like the boat. I had a 1979 white/yellow Ski Tique back in the day. I have been a Correct Craft fan since. I'm on my 7th (and last) one.
