New Here - 1968 Corvette
Hello!
My name is Brian and I'm in Pittsburgh, PA. I recently picked up a 1968 Corvette Coupe. This is my first Corvette but not my first classic. I've owned a ton of GM cars over the years but always wanted a Corvette. This Corvette was loved over they years but is definitely in need of some TLC. It doesn't have it's original engine, but it does have a 1964 327 currently. I'd like to keep some of the day 2 modifications but bring other parts of the car back to more original condition. I'm excited to get started and know that I'll be seeking guidance from the very knowledgeable folks on this forum.
