hi.i'm from carroll ohio and traded my 1970 bb chevelle race car for a 1971 vette coupe.i'm in the process of fixing everything that needs fixed on a 40 year old car. these cars are very different than the impalas,novas,camaros and chevelles i have owned for the last 50 years (i'll be 65 in october). i painted it bridgehampton blue in october of 10 (basecoat clearcoat). i feel very lucky to find this blog because i'll need some advice on all different things these cars have on them. thanks for your time.

:)hi. i can relate to the assorted junk.
 
here are a couple of pics the day i brought it home from the body shop.bridgehampton blue basecoat clearcoat ppg shopline.probably should have started on the mechanics first but it's easier to work on a car when it looks good.it looks pretty scary to me when i look under it because i've never tried to restore a vette. so many different things, but i'm excited.
