Default Corvette C1 Build

Good morning all,

Just a quick thread to introduce myself, I have recently purchased a 62’ C1 (in a few hundred pieces) in Spain with the intention of building/restoring it to its former glory.

Came across the site when looking for some parts/manuals so thought I would join and say hi!

I will try and keep a log of the build for those who may be interested.

Thanks

Dave
