Default New Guy from North Jersey

Hey guys, new to this site. I just aquired a 76 Corvette (same car and color on the cover of the latest Zip parts catalog) I'm a Buick guy at heart, I own a 71 Gran Sport - 2009 Gold Concourse Winner which took 10 years to restore and a lot of $$. I looked around for a "driver" and didn't want another Buick due to parts costs and availbility. I need to keep peace on the home front so I figured I'd look at something less expensive. One of my neighbors brought this car over and it grew on me. A deal was made and I now own it. I'm looking for a tilt/telescopic steering column 1st and foremost. I'm a big guy and need all the room I can get.. Thanks.

Mike
