Im just over here looking around this site, enjoying reading some threads and looking forward to posting up more.
Im on a few other Forums, and I have found that they are full of useful information and contain valuable tech instruction. Im hoping this site is the same, as Im heading into a very cool, resto/rebuild on a 67 Goodwood Green Coupe.

Question,
Is there a Specific area to where I can start a "Build Thread" ?

Craig - Welcome to the C1/C2 Forum. There is no particular 'Build Forum' but plenty of owners have started their own threads and just updated them as things come together.
And, when you do start the thread, make sure there are lotsa before and after pics.

Just wanted to see hello and welcome!

I joined just 2 years ago and have really benefited from the willingness of those on this forum to share their knowledge and lend assistance!

I have a 67 roadster with the same exterior color and tan interior. I look forward to following your coupe build!

Welcome aboard. I think yours is in much better shape than what I started with on my green convertible. Look forward to seeing your progress. Hopefully it will go much quicker than I have been.

Craig; Welcome to the best Corvette forum on line from another Kentuckian, although I left there close to 50 years ago (military). I've been here for over 15 years and the good folks here have saved me tons of wasted money, wasted time, and tons of frustration with all their good advice and experience.

Looks like a great build! Welcome! What’s the story? How did you acquire it? What are the specs/options? Are you keeping original? Is it original? If not, going with restomod?

Welcome Craig, I would recommend you get it safe to drive and put a couple of hundred miles on it or more if you are not going to resto it. You may find it fun to drive in stock form. Of course you might want to also WASH IT.
