Hi, I'm Pat and I'm a ...
Big Bumper Lover! This is where we start. 1977 Base Coupe. Non number matching 350/ 350 auto. Has been out of commission for 10 years. Needs a little floor pan work, rear quarter patch panels and a trunk pan to start with. I'm making room in the garage to get it back in there now that the 72 is gone. More to follow.

Managed to get the car in the garage before I had to leave for work thanks to my neighbor with the big 4 wheeler and a winch on the front. Another buddy came by and brought another floor jack so we could get moved over to side. Wouldn't want to leave the vette outside now would we. I'll get some good pics up later this week of the floors and trunk areas that need repaired. Also bought me a DeWalt electric orbitol sander today that we were discussing around here last week. Lowes had it on sale for $79. If it last through this one car that is enough for me.
