First time Corvette owner (C5) from KC, Mo
Hello, Just a short intro here, I’m new to owning a corvette and looking forward to the experience. I’ve worked on many of them over the years being a old bodyman (since 1971) but was never in a position to own one. Well here I am at retirement age and finally had a chance to buy one. Just bought a 2003 red c5 coupe. I’ve a lot to learn and hope to find the support I’ll need here on this forum. I live in Kansas City Missouri area (GO CHIEFS) and look forward to a happy with relationship with my new toy, Thanks for the opportunity to join this forum. BodyManBob
