Hello from Wisconsin

Hi I'm Matt from northern Wisconsin! I joined the forum to expand my knowledge and know how, I'm a neophyte at all this really but I'm getting by. I inherited my dad's Corvette last summer, it's a 68 4 spd bb. It's been off the road since 2012 after my dad got on it a little too much and blew the trans and rear. It's not for the purists, but I'm trying to make the old man proud and get it back on the road. I rebuilt the motor, trans and rear. Hopefully it'll be on the road by next summer!

After my dad finished it

Welcome to the Forum, Matt!
How nice that your father made sure his Corvette would stay in the family, and great you are putting it back into the condition he had it!
