Port Clinton, OH
Hey all. Just recently picked up a 1987 C-4. Working on putting it back together. Wiring is a mess.
I've been talking about picking up a Corvette for the last 20 years to restore. At 64 years of age, I figured that if i don't do it now, I never will.
Wish me luck!

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your C4!
Never too "young" to start.
Best wishes with the work you are doing on your '87. I'm sure a total rewire is challenging, but one great thing about the C4s is the tilt forward hood/fenders; gives you great working space.
