Hey everybody
A little about myself, I am in the army (17yrs) and always wanted a vette ever since i can remember! My chance happened about 5yrs ago, my brother bought it 2 yrs earlier and it was sitting in his garage for 2 yrs ( storage rack!!) i had seen it once and it ran had no interior or wiring. He ran into some finance issues so i offered to help and got my dream car! well 4 1/2 yrs and alot of money later i am about 93% done with the car. I have done most of the labor my self and put a lot of blood sweat and tears into it. Being in the army and a Drill SGT did not give me a lot of free time for myself ( i have a wife and 4 kids) so whenever i got the chance i was in the garage doing what i could. I will post more pictures of the car ( just painted ) as soon as i can. Hope to make some new friends and gain a lot of knowledge from everybody!! Great site!!
