New to the Forum
I have just joined the forum. I am in the proces of doing an 80 Frame off redo. I say redo as it will not be a restoration,it will be the way GM should have built it.The body will be stock, the interior will be an Al Knoch all leather(already purchased). I bought a crate engine from GM. Its some type of GM mistake. The engine is a 350 4 bolt with steel vortech heads and it has the ram jet roller cam. The engine will have a LOT OF CHROME AND BILLET. The car was orig auto, but have located a complete T-10 setup. The frame was shot blasted, all susp pieces were blasted, edge ground,primed and painted, its now back to "rolling". Hope you all have a nice holiday.

They are not mods, there "adjustments"
Its not a restoration, it an "update",
And in case my wife sees this anything you can buy for a corvette costs $2.
So far I only have $50 on my "adjustments" and "update"
