I’m new, too
Middle TN. Had a few Vettes as a car dealer. I own a small lot with one employee (me). I’ve just purchased a ‘80 C3 that I’m having shipped in. It’s an all original car that’s been sitting in Cali for the past 3 years. I can’t wait to get my hands on it. I’m hoping to keep it as original as possible and just use it as a weekend local cruiser. Even if the paint just kinda cleans up I’m prob going to keep it original. I hope to be able to contribute info as I’ve wrenched on just about everything at some point from cars to boats and even airplanes.
