Default Dad's Corvette

VIN # is 1Z37L7S418648, just got that via text from Mom. Don't even know what it is or what it has really. It's just Dad's Corvette.

I see a driving restomod at first after getting it roadworthy again. He didn't drive or register it the last several years but before that he'd take it up to the square in Bryan OH for the local cruise nights etc. Fluids, brakes, waterpump etc will need checked.

He intially liked it orginal (even though it had the candy paint) but loved what we did with the FREEDOMBIRD and was talking with a local guy about aluminum heads and a cam for more power just before his passing. It'll definately need more power than stock!

I see a real world budget with updated suspension/shocks, wheels/tires, and better brakes over the long term. Nothing over the top though. I was very blessed with all the support recieved on the FREEDOMBIRD and Chad building it for nothing... I will be doing this myself on a post retirement budget in a 2-car garage.

Suggestions? WW D?
