New 76 owner
Hey everybody, I'm Chris and I just bought my first vette about 6 months ago and I couldn't be more happier. I found an awesome deal on a 76 when I was in NC and just couldn't pass it up. Its going to need a paint job and a little bit of interior work but it runs like a champ. I was on here hoping somebody could give me a couple places to look for interior replacement parts and any advice on things to consider when I'm ready for the paint job.

Welcome Chris,
Look in the C3 section, it is filled with tons of useful information. There is also a nice parts for sale section.

Nice to see another member with a 76 join! Go check out the C3 forums, Corvette Central and the other sponsors of this site can help you out with interior components, or you can go custom, like a lot of people on C3 have done!
