Hello and welcome to the forum. In case you didn't get there they have an entro forum off the main forum you might want to say Hi on. Enjoy.

Thanks; Is yours a 62. Also where did you tell me to say hi? I just said hi here because I have a C2 project so I thought this part of the forum would be more pertinent. Nice to see the aftermarket rims. Mines a restorod. Most like the looks but have heard other's say its modified to hell. LOL. Not to my face of course, but so I would overhear.

You click on the ''forum'' on the line at upper part of the page, then click "main", then you should see the "intro" forum. Mine's a 61. Good luck on your C2 project, they're all fun.

Welcome aboard, you'll enjoy the ride.

I may suggest that you complete your profile as it helps when you post a thread looking for help.

You're saying hi in the right place as near as I can tell; aisde from the C3 forum (they are closest to us in age and mentality) we are kinda in our own little world here in the C1-C2 section of the Corvette Forum.

Welcome aboard - yes, fill in some details (where you are and what you've got there - I see it's a 65). That will help answering your questions later on, and there may even be a nearby forum member who can drop on by and lend a hand (I have received that kind of help).

oh yeah - post a picture of what you've got there!

Welcome! You will find this forum to be helpful, full of fun and very entertaining. There are many people with different points of views here but ALL are open, helpful and excepting. As far as resto vs NCRS most of us are car guys period, so we like em all! You will find many talented people on this site that have built both Restorods and stock, you will even find many with both types in the same garage. Do some searches, you will find very interesting info.
