First Corvette
So I just took ownership of a 1976 Corvette. I got it from a family member and it is in rough shape. It runs and sort of drives. Most of the electrical is shot. I know Im gonna get grief for it but I'm planning on using it for Gambler 500 runs. Ive built a jeep and a focus wagon for previous rallies but saw some killer builds last year that folks made out of muscle cars. It's gonna be a long process but its gonna be fun.
