Default Gotta start somewhere!

Greeting fellow vette enthusiasts and lovers! I do not own a Corvette, but i am looking at a custom project that will take the local area by storm. I am here to learn, soak up knowledge, and possibly buy some parts when they are needed. I am still in the building stages of m car, but Deb Lowe told me this is the place to be. So, here i am! A little background on the situation i am in. I want a vehicle that will look like a normal car. and people can say, "Oh, its just an Eclipse!" But as i cruise the streets and enjoy the drive-ability. I would like to take it to the track and rip around, as well as make people scratch their heads in wonder. My car is a 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS. The non turbo model for those who wonder. I had the car sitting at home with a blown motor, and thought of ways to go crazy, and this is where i am! If anyone is interested in a build thread, i will post one in a few months as things get rolling along. Right now, its a gutted shell, on stands, and a black interior. The car is silver in color, and intend to keep it stock color, and do my best to keep it a sleeper. Thanks for those who help along the way! I hear there are great people on here!
