Default Added a new member to the family today

Well after two long days of driving I am finally home with the new car. My Dad and I have picked up this 1968 corvette. It has a 327 four speed. The only gauge that works is the speedometer and even that is off. Radio does not work and it has an oil leak. However, the 16 hour round trip out to Kentucky was worth it. So the work will start tomorrow, yea!

First is to stop the oil leak, then to move on to the electrical. But those damn wheels and tires need to go! They said the cam and intake are upgraded but we are probable going to take the engine out and see if thats true. It sounds like they did put a cam in it bit I do not know what a normal 68 vette sounds like.

Looks like a fun project and I agree the wheels have to go ASAP.
