Default New Guy on block

Hello all,

I have been lurking for afew weeks and thought I would introduce myself.
I juts got, through a friend who is the original owner, a 1978 Silver Anniversary car. It has just over 40K original miles.
It cam with 3 sets of T-Tops, Glass, Stock Solid Silver and Canvas fold up ones. It's an L-82, Automatic with a Blue Interior with 80 or 81 seats installed.
The stock seats and all other stock parts that were changed came with it also.
It was in storage the last 4 years but prior to that it spent a year outside
sitting so the paint is pretty worn.
The oly thing I'm doing right now is the calipers and brakes. It wa slike a waterfall when i put brake fluid in it:eek:
I ordered the kit from Muskegon Brake. Is this a good kit?
The price was reasonable and I didn't see and negative feedback so
it's on the way.
Sorry for the ramble. I hope I can add to the forum.

Paul Roswell
78 Silver Anniv.

Congrats on your purchase, enjoy it. Musk or Vettebrakes are the ones I hear are good.

I too am a "newbee" to the forum and Vette ownership. This forum is great, especially for rookies, and the guys here are very helpfull and insighfull. I don't have much knowledge of Vette's, but I do use this forum as my classroom. Welcome aboard, and congrats on the purchase of your new "Baby". :cheers:
