New members Vette pic
Hi everyone
,
I'm a new member and my name is Dean. I just figured out how to post a pic so I thought I would share this one with you. I got the car about a month ago. It sat in a garage for about 25 years and was covered with a mixture of dirt and mouse pee but it is cleaning up ok. I am totaly amazed that everything on the car works. It needs some work but what C3 doesn't. Anyway I'm very proud of it and besides I've been looking at this very car since I was a kid. I'm getting ready to remove the trailing arm assemblies and have them rebuilt. I'll keep you apprised of the progress.
Thanks,

This is the full size image. I like the color on the wheels, they just need some trim rings to set them off. Have fun with it.
