First Corvette C3 1981
Hi all, wife and I bought our first Corvette as a family project this last week. I did watch and read a lot on the internet about what to look for but have to be honest I sat in it, started the engine, and said "OK when can you deliver it". Total impulse buy but it does run very well but also needs a lot of work so looking for new friends in the area (North of Richmond VA) with experience. I would love recommendations s well on any must have tools or books. I have done a lot of car work in the past but never a Corvette and not many domestic vehicles. I also have a lot of experience with fiber glass and compost materials, one of the big reasons I went with this beautiful Corvette.
