Hello, I'm from Illinois (The same town as where Mid America is located, fairly handy). I purchased my first corvette about a year ago. A 1973 C3 L-82 car. It was numbers matching until I cracked the block. Now I'm in process of an ls swap and complete frame off. Body is currently off the frame and I figured I could use some advice, so here I am.

Welcome and post a thread in the C3 section showing your build. Sounds like it will be a pretty cool car when finished.
