Default My first Corvette

Hello all y'all. Just baught my first Corvette. it's a 76. It needs a lot of work but no more than my other projects. (I cant seem to stop buying cars)
The C3 Corvette w/ the small back glass has been on my list of cars to buy, so when my friend told that the man has come down on the price, I said what the heck, I'm putting up a metal building so why not spen even more $$.
At least I'm spendin' my money where I make it.. USA.

Thanks, Found lots of good info using the search. Got to go thru the boxes of parts that came with the car and figure out a shopping list. floor pans are first on the list.

My wife allowed me to buy this car providing we sell it after the resto. Two days after getting it home she now tells me we can NOT sell it. It is too fine.
Things worked like I hpoed they would.

This one is a keeper, part of the family now

Dang!! Wish the PO would not have dyed the interior black. got runs accross the inst panel lenses and painted over all the trim. LOL. Oh well. minor details.
