We purchased the 1960 Corvette (picture right) in July, of 2003. When complete, the car will appear as the car above. Upon arrival, we focused on finding all the parts needed to put her back together.
Having restored a couple of award-winning classic automobiles, we chose to turn this project into an enjoyable restoration. Our goal includes driving it to local car rallies and enjoying it as we get older. Our hope is to have our son and grandson help us with this project so it can be passed on and enjoyed from generation to generation. There is a catch however, we've requested that they only allow the next generation to take ownership of it after they turn "40".
We created this section of the web site in order to provide regular updates of the project for our family and friends. If you have some friendly advice or tips, please feel free to email us at firstbiz@hotmail.com
