Hi, my name is Randy Humphrey from Valley, AL. I bought a 1978 Corvette Jan. 29, 2013 and got it home Feb. 4. It had been sitting outside in a field for 10 years. As ya'll know, it needs plenty of work. It has a 350 engine and 350 turbo transmission which I have already removed. I have also removed the body from the frame and I am in the process of cleaning the frame to take it to be powder coated.
This is where I stand on my restoration at this time. I also have a 55 Chevy that I am restoring, but have put it on the back burner to get the Corvette in working order. I am looking forward to being a member to your forum.

Randy
