Default Greetings from E.TN.

I've been perusing the site for a couple days or so and will be posting many questions henceforth so I thought an intro was in order.
My name is Dave and I just traded for my 1st Corvette, a 1975 T top. It came with an owners manual but all it's done is open new questions, LOL.
It's mostly stock & serviceable mechanically, little to no rust damage but the interior needs attention and it has been repainted a different color by someone who didn't do a very good job and someone between that owner and me made it worse.
My immediate goal is to make it a dependable cruiser to enjoy and address the interior & exterior deficits as I go.

75 Corvette
