New Guy from Texas
Just wanted to check in from Texas. I bought my first Vette the other day and cant wait to fix her up. It's black right now but needs help. The car runs good but heater core is leaking on floor and if you live here you know temps have been cold lately. Body needs some TLC but i'm taking classes at Lincoln Tech and this is now my class project. I will be painting it PPG black with frost blue ghost flames. I have to take pics later today to post. Hope to see you all on the roads.
