Default mid-year madness

Hello to all the great folks here @ corvetteforum! Let me start by saying it was a huge oversight on my part having never introduced myself. I've joined several forums (E-46fanatics and Bimmerfest) in the last year and thought I'd posted in New members. My name is Sonny and I'm a chef by trade. I recently bought my dads never-completed 65 rdstr project. I've previously owned a 74 L-82 that was all original and a nice car, but I've been dreaming of mid-years my whole life. My dad bought the car in 78. Drove it for a few years and in 82 decided to restore it. He pulled the engine, interior and put in on stands. that's where it sits today
