hi im billy! i finally took my first maiden voyage in my 81 corvette! i have owned this car for almost 2 years and have slowly brought it back to life. i am a family man and most of my money is spent elsewhere. when i first got her she was more parts car than project car. i believe she sat for quite sometime because the original red leather and virtually everything else inside was sun baked( glass t tops). originally a white over red car , it was drowned in a thick coat of primer to hide all the cracks and other damage when i got her.. being on a major budget , this would not have been possible without craigslist and ebay. . almost everything was bought on ebay(even my paint!). so many little parts missing!!
being sooo far from the original white over red , i decided to change the color. in 81 i do believe there were more white over red vettes than any other color combo. so it wasnt like a high dollar collectible.. i changed the interior to black. painted it the brightest shade of orange i could find! when i got her she had a really agressive hot rod hood scoop, but that was it. searched high and low and found a set of centerline convo pro s in charlotte for 140.00 obo . i happil;y paid the 140.00 . so much more to tell buit i have taken enough of your time!!
the first time i took it out a guy at the local convenience store took a pic of it. thumbs up and peace signs from everyone!! ive had some bad rides and never got the response that i get in this one!! im happy just to be finished??? and from the response from people lets me know it was a job well done!
thanks again for reading. will post before and after pics soon.

 

Do you have a pic of your finished project? Sounds great!
