Finally bought my first corvette
Hows it going everyone? Im Garret. I recently bought my first corvette and so far have been enjoying it. we have had a few in the past that ive driven but never owned. Im from small town nebraska.
Im no stranger to the car world. Ive had 3 camaro's, a trans am, 3 GTO's (1 of each year), a Mustang mach 1, and an 04 cobra.
I buy alot of vehicles off of auctions and rebuild them or strip them.I bought my vette with the plans of stripping it and selling everything but once i got it home and realized what i had, i decided it was too nice of a car to throw away. I think the previous owner is on this site. The car was built by LG motorsports and used to develope and test their G6x3 cam. I will start a build thread for the car because i still have alot of work to do before its road worthy.

thanks! i messed with the car tonight.
little bit of back story, i bought the car wrecked, anyway it needs a new front clip. im debating on on swapping a zo6 or zr1 front end onto it, only trouble is that my rims are for a basic C6 with the zo6 rear quarters. so i will either have to buy two new wheels for the front or sell the whole set of wheels and tires and buy something new. otherwise, ill rebuild it with a standard c6 front end.
