Default My first Vette

Hello everyone, I just bought my first Corvette yesterday. I've wanted one since I was a teen and am now in my 50's so I think it's about time...lol

It's a 1977 L82 with new paint and rebuilt 350 auto. It has a few upgrades here and there but does have a few wiring issues along with some other things I want to upgrade, the interior is okay but needs work, the seats were changed by the previous owner to "Ractive" seats and they don't fit well at all so I want to change them out...any ideas?

Any way, I look forward to reading and learning lots on here especially during the winter so I can build and make it my own come spring.

Tim
