Purchased my 1960 Corvette in 1983. In a previous life she was a stripper (drag strip racer). She has been a WIP for most of her life. It wasn't until 10-15 years ago I got her 99% complete.
Still own the old gal and had her out yesterday for a hour cruise around the town. It's my escape machine and puts a smile back on my kisser when I've had a stressful day, which is now quite frequently since becoming a 24/7 caregiver for my 92 year old Dad.
