Hi
Newbie here. I have been reading the post and found a lot of good information.
l have a 1986 corvette convertible with 38 thousand miles. I bought the car new and enjoyed it until kids.
the car has been in storage most of the time until now ( no kids ). I have to admit I neglected it, paints not great a lot of stuff has deteriorated and
needs replacement. It still runs like a bear though.
thanks
