Default New guy from Pa, Pics inside

Good evening everyone. Just saying hi and whats up Names Dave,22 years old from central PA. Ive already found a ton of useful info on the site, answered a lot of my questions. So heres the story on the vette. My father bought this back in 1986 with 24,000 miles on it. Now 23 years later it has........28,000. Yea a whooping 4,000 miles in 23 years, and most of them are from me in the last 7 since i got my license. Well long story short my dad never properly cared for the car body wise, engine wise runs like a top. So i am now in the process of a slow restoration(slow in the terms i am a poor college kid, with a double Major and now an internship). Just thought i would say hello. Oh and i take 1000 pics of everything i believe a picture is worth 10000000 words. More pictures tmrw don't have time right now with finals in the AM

Hey, as long as the motor runs good, and it has no major mechanical problems, cosmetics can be taken care of all in good time.. Take care of the school first..
