New to C1
Hello to all! I just purchase a 1957 Corvette that the original owner had for 58 years. That’s the only good part of the story! The car was in a fire so I’m looking for a lot of original parts! My plan is restoration not modified. Not that there’s anything wrong with that! My car is a February fifth build

I hope the build goes well, someday I'd like to find one to do a restomod, but if you have an all original classic.. you just have to go the long way round and do a faithful restoration.
