C3 newbee
Hello all, I'm new to corvette ownership and the forum. I have a late 71 roadster survivor, 9900 miles, amazing condition. Previous owner reports the car hasn't seen rain or snow during his 42 year tenure. Not sure how I can help others outside of sharing comparisons/details of my car assuming that it's all original.
Being a 45 year old car, many of the weather strips are due for replacement. I would appreciate any advice regarding removing the old and installing new. I value the community knowledge that this forum offers.
