Hello

I'm new to this site, and also new to the world of the greatest sports car in the world. I have just bought a 69 Vette convertible. Red on red, needs some work(part of the fun) already rebuilt the front end with no problems. I'm sure I will need to pick your collective brains in the future. Anyway I just wanted to say hello. Also I live in S.E. Michigan. and if I can be of help to anyone, I'll do the best I can.
Thanks again
Sly

The assembly manual. Very helpful in putting back some of the parts or locating where everything is. Most of the vendors have them.

Welcome, and I agree with the above comments about the AIM. Get one now before you actually need it. They are worth their weight in gold.
