HI ALL,

It’s been a great month at Hobby Car Corvettes. Spring has officially begun, and we’ve just completed our second restoration of the year.  Last month we told you about our “Frankenstein” vette, a 1973 Pro-Street car that we had bought over the summer, and had a lot of fun restoring.  This month we finished up another restoration project that was even longer in the making- a 1972 Mille Miglia Red Convertible we bought a few years ago.   This Vette has come a long way since the first time we saw it and we’re ready to show it off.  Take a look at our latest blog for lots of pictures of the finished product, and if you missed it, check out our blog from January to read the story about how this Corvette fell into our hands.   I’ll give you a hint- it involves a thunderstorm, a huge tree, and a Shelby GT 500.

Until next time,RJ
