If you want to save money, get out now!!! I came here initially wanting information on a sunvisor or some odd thing and many thousands $$ later, I'm still going!
Seriously, though, welcome to the shark pond.

Glad to have you here. Sounds like you have a nice car and there are great people here to help. Isn't it cool having a Corvette.

Congrats!
Safety first! Brakes and suspension maintenance should be done before appearance and performance mods.
As most of the Forum members will tell you, the possibilities for modifications never end with C3s. So the best advice I can give to a new guy is to decide early on what you want to do with the car then decide the sequence to implement. Without a plan you will spend more than you should and may not get where you want to go.

Brakes were redone in November of '81. I got the invoice from the previous owner. Definately will look at the suspension in detail. Pics will come soon. Thanks for the reply :D
