Congrats on a great car. Your first mod needs to be a column lock by-pass. I recommend the one sold by Thinder Racing. It's an easy 15 minute install that will ensure many miles of smiles.

Now let the mods begin.

Tks for the props everyone, I am so jazzed I can't hardly stand myself.

As soon as I get her cleaned up and some pics taken, I'll post them. (as soon as I can figure out how to do that)

I'm extremely happy for you. Now, let me give you a secret that only Corvette owners know.

No matter how enjoyable it is to look at it in the garage, it's a lot more fun to drive it. Trust me on this.
