Hello all...
Thanks for having me. I do not own a Corvette...yet. My Father has finally retired at age 68 and I'm looking for a project for us to work on. He briefly owned a 1958 Corvette and this would be ideal. I've come to the forum to try to get a handle on how to go about finding a good compromise between "ideal" and possible. I am basically ignorant to all things Corvette, so this ought to be interesting...The only thing I have going for me is that I'm a moderately competent mechanic. So, let the schooling begin.
