Default Hello from Chicagoland
Hi all, glad to be a part of this community! I'm a 28 year old guy from Chicago who was very fortunate enough to be able to buy his dream car last year, a 2021 Corvette C8. It's been a fantastic car, and recently I've developed an interest in doing some custom work on it and was hoping to learn a bit about that in these forums.

Here are some pictures of it at an airstrip near Geneva, WI before it started getting torn down:
