hi all...
i've been signed up on here for a while but never really posted... so anywho... here i am

my name's steve, i'm 21 from the detroit area...
i've been into the custom S-10 world, but i've been secretly working on my new project... a 1972 corvette... it still belongs to my dad for the most part, but i'm sure will one day belong to me... so him and i have been working on it to make it our own original... i can't really talk much about it as some of the idea's are pretty new and have yet ro be done to a corvette... but let's just say it's not for the "pure at heart"

don't get me wrong... i love the original vettes... just the way i look at it is anyone can restore a piece of history, but why not make ur own history... customize it...
any question's i'd be happy to answer...
here's a sketch i did a while back of how the car may look... we've changed the design a couple times since then... but basicly it's the same car

Welcome to another C3 owner. You'll see the entire spectrum here. Some believe that you shouldn't own a Vette unless it all OEM, to customization R us.

I figure its your Vette, do what you like. Good luck.

Congrats on the 72 Vette, Steve!! You will be driving around for quite a while with a big "corvette grin" on your face! Welcome to the Forum. They are great for learning more about vettes and you will meet a lot of new friends.
