Howdy
Howdy folks. I just bought my dream car it is a 69 Corvette about six weeks ago. I have known about it and know a bit of the history on why it was parked and abandon. It is about 90% complete. I say that because the interior had to be completely gutted. Critters kind of got in it and died.
As a newbie to the Corvette world I'll be asking a lot of dumb questions here in the future.
Thank y'all ahead of time for y'all's support
