Well, The last couple years has slowed us down, but we kept adjusting, changing, and tinkering with the car despite cancer, retirement, & covid.
Now we`re running it around the neighborhood & "breaking it in"......
Our thanks to all of you for your kind words of support, advice, technical help, & encouragement!

Hey Jim. Good to see you get that thing out of the garage. Maybe you can make it to the next Brotherhood get together. Looks like Corvettes on the Cove later this month.

What a beautiful C3. You saved this one, turned it into a gorgeous car - you should be proud. And how cool to have your co-pilot with you to keep having fun. All the best, Paul
