Default First Time Vetter Owner

Hello everyone. I'm a first time vette owner who couldn't walk by a project at a local "car corral" - it just sort of called to me. It's a '74 L82 that spent about 3 years in storage. The car needs a lot of work, I needed a project, and the price was right. Disassembly has already begun and I'm having a great time. I'll get some disassembly pics up soon.
