Hey Guys,
I've been playing with the idea of getting a C3 for years and finally decided it's the way to go (was also considering an F-Body). I'm biding my time and gathering information for a couple years before I buy. I'll be lingering/participating around here to learn every thing I can about these cars before I jump in and get one myself.

Right now I'm planning on a '74-'77. I love the body color matched front and rear Sharks...too bad they don't have the rear spoiler. I'm sure I can fab something up

I've been building my custom truck for 5 years (see my avatar) and it's nearing completion. Time to find a new project...mmm...C3. I loved hanging out on truck forums during that project and hope to have the same great experience learning and joking here.

Looking forward to hanging out with you guys.
Later!
Brian
