What do we do now?
So, our first Corvette..
All the work in now done to restore the 1978 Silver Anniversary to better than original condition..
and I mean everything..
Not bad to get it all done in 6 months.I'm a bit compulsive at times..,
Have the jackets, the tin signs...The CTEK battery maintainer...
Last time I had everything 'DONE'...I shot myself with one of my .357 handguns..Weary of not being able to function like I was used to.
Got to meet Christ and some other dedicated folks.Jesus sent me back.
I was DOA.
Rather not do that again..A lot of stress for folks I have well provided for..and also for those who cared for my weary ****.
SO, what do I do now?Today, tomorrow?..
Try to keep it related to the C3 Corvettes if you will..Jim

I bet there was at least ONE thing you didn't replace. It looked good, probably not that important. Guess what will break soon. Just like getting new paint and then worrying about the first scratch. It is going to happen. SO relax, enjoy your second chance and make the most out of it. Don't sweat the small stuff and have fun.
Is my vette stock?? HAHA

Wait. You only have one corvette and say your done. No no myfine sir, you dont have a C3 chrome bumper car or a C1 or C2. There's plenty of choices for you while you wait for something to repair on that 78. Stay away from pointy sticks and you'll find plenty to set your mind too. How about a cruise across America. You could visit all the major US monuments. Thats a goal of mine someday. Good luck
