Default She's home.

Hey everyone. Well me and my 79 Corvette are finally back together again. I had been without her for 4 years. I joined the military and found out I was going to Alaska, so I put my baby in storage at my dads place. Well now I am finally out of Alaska, got new orders to Luke AFB in Phoenix, bought a new place, and love that I finally have my baby back.

I joined the site a few years back, asking some questions, waiting, and planning on what I was going to do once she was with me again. Now I plan on hopefully being a regular on here, and picking as many brains as I can for good info.

So incase anyone was wondering, I better post some pics before someone asked where the pics are at.

Thanks everyone.

rosslato I was at Elmendorf. I couldn't see being stuck at Eilsen. That would of probably pushed me over the edge. How did you like Ft Wainwright?

BARRY yes that is the factory color. I love that it's yellow, and my interior is doeskin. I cant wait to see yours all done. Not to many yellow late C3's I see running around.
