There's something about getting another Vette similar to one you already have! A familiarity, ya know all the quirks. Have fun, looks like a great project.

Congrats Mick. Looks pretty decent in the pictures. Shoot me a PM when ya get a chance. I want to hear all the "Particulars" as we say here in the south. Look forward to hearing from you.

Congrats Micki!!   

Thanks for posting the pics Joel!

It looks like mine when I got it. I too bought it online and while it needed more work than I thought, it's a labor of love. Just have paint and interior left to do on mine and it will be as good as when new. No matter what shows up, I'm sure you'll love it. Good luck with the new baby!!!    Bry585012007-12-03 22:08:58

COOL! If the frame and drive train are OK, looks like just cosmetic stuff, and it comes with a trailer! Clap Merry Christmas! I am SOOOOOO jealous. LOL

Congrats Micki.  Could you work a little harder to make those of us with just one Vette jealous?!
[/QUOTE]

Or those of us that can't even afford to fix the one Vette we have?!  LOL

Cool Miki!  Looking forward to hearing more about it, now that you have it in your possession.
