Default Hello All

Obviously a new guy here. Just picked up our first Vette a couple weeks ago. It's a 1980. All black. Needs a LOT of work. Interior is pretty much shot. The paint job previous owner did is horrible. Runs and sags all over. But, the motor and tranny is fresh rebuild, and runs real good.
So far I've had to replace front bearings, rear spring and straighten out some rather bad backyard engineering.
Tomorrow I hope to be putting on new calipers in the back, fronts are already new, and get some good braking out of this thing.
Looking forward to some info and helping when I can.

Hi and welcome to the Forum
And congrats on getting your first Corvette. Sounds like that 1980 is with the right owner now
I like the all black ones too
