Default I got mine!!
After working on other peoples Vette's I got mine last March. A '79 base that need's some TLC. Got the interior out and it's going back together after some ****-retentive repairs and CD installation. Next year is the go-fast stuff! Along with running repairs/upgrades.
Wish I had that 396 Vette I rebuilt for a guy years ago!!

It's almost like being a celebrity, people looking at my car on the road, asking what year it is, even this random "kid" took a picture at the gas station! I didn't get this attention when I my MG, which was very clean.
