Default Hats off

My hat's off to all you corvette owners. I just bought my first vette ('72 vert, small blk). Had no idea how much work would be involved. Maybe I'm just clueless. I'm lucky in one aspect, as a family member is also a 72 owner. He's been a huge help. Let's just hope it's a learning experience and I gain some valuable knowledge. Hopefully, I won't regret this decision. I love the car and love driving it.

You'll hear from me again soon, as I have many things to fix and this board is a great place for advice.

Happy 4th!!

-72 in MD!!

Congrats on the new toy. It really helps the cause when you can rely on a bunch of fellow enthusiasts, like us, for help. Don't be afraid to ask anything you run across. Someone here has been there and done that. Most of all enjoy the vette.

Anything you experience with that car, someone has done it already, so the information is just waiting for you.
