Barry, great web site and organization of the articles.

Never see you post as much as before. Recall you purchased and are working on a C3 so maybe that is taking all your time. Don't forget us C1 and C2 people

Hi John

thanks for the kind words.
Yes, last Spring I did purchase a C3 but I still have my '65 also - I'll never sell that

John, I was wondering the same thing. Barry was always posting
helpful things to everyone. Now you very rarely see him post.
Barry come back to the forum we need people like you.

I too would like to thank you and all the others for your articles and advice that you provided to the many questions asked on the forum. I bought my 65 coupe a year and a half ago so as a new person to the hobby it is a great source of information. Thanks again.

Shemp, I'm around, lurking, just not posting much for a variety of reasons.
Honestly, my lack of posting most of the time is really no great loss anyway as the vast majority of other forum members are much more knowledgable than I am. My specialty is ASKING questions when I get stuck on working on my own cars...
believe me, my tech articles page is a much better contribution to the forum members that I can ever make rather than my trying to answer questions myself.

ucc, I know how you feel. I've only had my '65 for 3 years now so I'm well aware of what it's like being a newbie to the hobby and to the corvette world.
If the articles are a help to you than please make as much use of them as you can. I started collecting them for my own use and added them to the website when I realized that others could benefit as well from them so that's what they are there for.
Enjoy.

Hmmmm. Your the one that informed me, and others I'm sure, of the Hirsch engine paint in addition to many other items. Plus Q/A is when everyone learns.

Yeah, that Hirsch paint was pretty good.......
Did you try it and did you like it? I got excellent results on both my engine blocks using it. I used it on both the '65 and the '78 motors.
BTW, I learned about it from another forum member ChuckG.
