Default New C3 guy here..........

Hey guys! I am a new C3guy. I just bought a 72 red convertible. It needs lots of tender loving care. I have a quasar blue 91 coupe that I have been cleaning up for some years now. The C4s have lots of quirks but, as I can see from lurking here, nothing like the C3s . I have been reading lots of threads here in the last couple of weeks. I am very relieved to see that you all help each other as much or more than the c4 group. I'm really looking forward to "getting my hands dirty". Boy, am I gonna need help.......

Hi - my name's Zoomin, and I also am addicted to Vettes of various generations. I've found that this forum provides support and affirmation for my C3 habit, and look forward to doing the same for you! In here I can find solace with many others who eat Cheerios for dinner to get the next great thing.

Welcome!

Welcome to the C3 group! You will soon learn that Step 1 for any C3 project is to dismantle half the car to gain access to what you intend to repair or replace.
