first corvette
Happy to join the Corvette Forum. Purchased my first project car, as it turns out it is a Corvette, taking me back to my early teens (my brother used to own one in the 70's). It is 1979, previously owned by a mechanic who passed, it is in pretty good mechanical condition with lots of engine work comploete, but still needs TLC . Next winter, sand, body work and paint. I am sure I will have questions, but looking forward to the challenge.
