Thank you everyone for the warm welcome!!
I love this corvette forum.
I have already started spending hush money on it. The radio and the clock didn't work so I have sent them in to get fixed and I have new factory exhaust ordered. I can't wait to get that engine compartment detailed.

Welcome! Forgiveness>permission! I love to hear of other car collectors that keep a special place for a certain car in their heart and wallet. Especially when it is a chrome-bumper corvette!
You may want to look around here and see who else has 68's. There is a group of us, http://forums.corvetteforum.com/grou...rs-united.html

detailing engine compartment
You'll be surprised how quickly your engine compartment shapes up with a min. amount of cleaning and repainting, etc. It will respond quickly to look more like the outside.

I know, I didn't want to back it out of the garage but we were moving some stuff around and I didn't want anything to get too close to the car.
The first night I stayed out in the garage until 5:30am cleaning the exterior and I used a clay bar on it's factory original paint. I am shocked how well the paint has held up.

The old acrylic lacquer, if not too hardened and cracked from being left out in the son, cleans up real nice with a clay bar. My wife's car got booted out of the 2-car garage to make room for the vette. The Harley was moved to the living room. Need all the space I can get in my man-cave. Haven't tried spending the night out there yet...
