Hey everyone, new owner and member here.
I'm in laredo texas, ill be looking for some parts that my c5 corvette needs, previous owner set it on fire, ill load pics later but i need a new rear tub soon. It was gonna be a parts car but now that i brought it home, i changed my mind and am going to fix it up. Just got a rear leaf spring today and I'll try and get it on the lift this week.
