First time Corvette
Hey all! I'm an Aussie living in Tennessee, just got my first Corvette, a '76.
She's straight, no rust, but needs some TLC - perfect! I'm loving the adventure on working on it, learning all about it - and it never ceases to put a smile on my face. A steep learning curve, for sure!
