But the biggest improvement would be the saving of pics. Some members have done such bang up job documenting their work with pics (which helps us "hunter-gatherers"), only to lose it in the archives.
If someone knows of an index of tech articles I would love to know of it. I read a lot before I do something. I save as much as I can in a separate file.
My body is back on ... finally.
I have many many in-depth posts that I took many hours assembling
and posting. Sadly, my hard drive crashed (home server) and many pix are gone.
After that, I tried to save/publish in PDF format ... then lost interest.
The archives cannot be editted. One or two I re-created with new pix location ... too much work.

Anyway ... have you looked at corvettefaq.com ?
There are many docs and threads that are archived.

Now get going on that body-off resto ... no more posting on this topic.

Now, after all of this, can we have a group hug and get on with more important things like driving/repairing/modding our C3's?

Aw, man, I just got the photos of my mayonaise downloaded into photobucket, along with some really cool ketchup and 70's vintage relish pics. But if I have to, OK....

i think this thread is a waste of time and a bunch of ...let's be frank and pretty streight, there is quite a few members here that should land their a$$es more often on a vette seat rather then warming up a comfy sofa in front of a computer console, distributing advices, planning changes (to the forum structure) and trying to impose their thoughts to other members as if they were distilled and cristal clear truthes...instead of simple points of view, among a million more.

so, to these time wasters i'd strongly ask to spare us all the of pre-digested 'how to be a proper forum member' knowledge.

this place is a forum, not a school classroom...and the people who come here are all members, not teachers and pupils, all of them deserve the same respect...those who are delighted to be considered 'professor' should rather get a job in a pubblic school to satisfy their ego, and those who dream to be moderators should apply to the administrator and try to get appointed. simple...

said this, i wish all of you a delightfull night and a better tomorrow morning.

i go to sleep

This thread has played out, and all members were given the opportunity to share their thoughts/opinions.

Remember that this is a privately owned forum, and the owner establishes the format and rules, therefore, there needs to be consistency between all generations/sections and no one section will be permitted to sway from the norm.

With that said, here is the bottom line:

We have a General and a Technical/Performance section. I have given some examples in the sticky thread above concerning each section. The two sections will remain independent, and threads in General that belong in Tech, will be moved accordingly, and vice-versa.

We will allow the C3 "brotherhood," to share some OT info amongst themselves, but, all thread moves are still at the discretion of the section Moderators.
