Hello Corvette Forum,
I am Doc Leathers. I design medical equipment, and will retire next year. I am part of the "over 50 crowd" now, and I live in Kirkland WA with my son and wife. I have owned many fine cars over the years, but none have stirred my soul like the C1, C2, and C3s I have built and owned. I would say my favorite is the 58-59-60 body style, and I have vowed to build one more for my son before it is over. I also build airplanes (BearHawk) and enjoy fishing, hunting, and SCUBA diving. I am building a 1968 Camaro right now. It is a left-over from my youth, and has only 16K actual miles on it to this day. It has a stock six cylinder and three-speed on the floor. It won't take long to restore it to original, as thankfully, I never got around to "modifying" it when I was young. I pickled it and put it in storage during college and grad school, and there it has set for 26 years. It will be my son's first car! Cheers!
