Default C2 intro, new member

Hello,
I am new to CAC. I recently purchased my 64 365hp roadster, black w white int. Body is a little messy but looks good at 20 ft. Original motor. I have replaced springs, shocks, exhaust, and brought under hood as close to original as I can afford.

This is my 2nd vette, first was a 74 roadster 454. I have owned over 60 cars and worked on chevrolets for a living from '82 to '90. I learned many corvette servicing tips for c2-c3 from the old timers I worked with. I might be able to share some, although from what I have seen, the people in this group have pretty good knowledge of repairs.

I plan to drive this car for a few years while I figure out whether what level of resto I want to do.

John

John welcome to the forum and have fun!


How great is it to work on one of these peices of history.I see you have allready started working on the undersidw of the car Dont forget to check out the saftey items like the steel brake lines (especially if they have the bending springs on them always seems to have hidden rust holes in that area) also the rubber hoses
