My first Corvette
Well I got the Harley sold and after looking for awhile and test driving several, I found my car. I am now the lucky owner of a 1975 numbers matching, 80K, 4-speed beauty.
She needs some TLC, but as I keep telling my wife, she is a 40 year old lady and she needs my attention.
I am glad to have a resource like Corvette Forum to lean on. I will be logging in for information on a regular basis.

So now be honest. How many times have you gone out to the garage, opened the door and said " I can't believe it, there's a Corvette in the garage and it's mine"? Don't be embarrassed, we've all been there, and I dare to say most of us still think the same thing when we go to our garages. Welcome to the club, keep the wife involved and don't forget to SAVE THE WAVE.

Well, I had to bring her home on a trailer due to leaking calipers,(i knew that when I bought it). Got her home an notice gas leaking so she stayed out of the garage over night. Check it out this morning and found leaking fuel pump. Spent the morning replacing it and love every minute of it.
I will start on the brakes next week...Safety first and then everything else.
Thanks for all the comments and support and I will try to keep updating the forum on my progress.
