Hello from Gray Area
Hello Corvette Forum Members,
I've owned my C2 1964 Convertible since 1974. Unfortunately, it's been sitting in my garage for a long, long time in need of a major refit. Now that I'm retired and have time to work on it, I intend to go the Restomod route.
I know there are a lot of “purists” on this forum, but my C2 had been hot rodded, and was in only fair condition, when I bought it. So, mine is far from the ideal car to start with to do a stock restoration. And, in all honesty, that is not where my interests lie. I'm still a hot rodder at heart.
Thank you.

Welcome to the forum. Impressive that you have owned your car since 1974. I’d recommend that you post up some pics and details of the car in the C1/C2 section - I’m sure the members there would enjoy the story.

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your long term C2!
Since your car was already modded, continuing with a resto-mod seems like the a good approach.
Best wishes with your work!
