We're very glad that you are interested in cars...especially Corvettes. You can learn a lot about cars and how they work by spending some time helping your Dad. For most of us, the car is fun to drive...but much of the fun is working on it and repairing or refurbishing a classic car so that it looks good and works as well as it did when new. There is a lot of personal satisfaction that you can get from doing that.
Whenever you want to share what you are working on, or whenever you need to ask for advice, we hope you will 'post' on the Corvette Forum. We'd like to know how things are going with you and your project.

Hello, and I am happy to hear some young folks are so interested in our old Corvette! I sure could have used some help in your size when I was working on my engine compartment!! Whatever you do in life, remember to have fun doing it. Corvettes sure can help.

Good to see some younguns on here. Keep your eye on the forums and help your dad with his vette as often as he will let you and learn as much as you can. Working on these old vettes is a great hobby and is very rewarding.

Hey Christian!
Welcome to the forum. It's great that you are your Dad are working on the car together and that you are interested in Corvettes. I just bought my '69 a little over a month ago - we can all learn from each other.

Hi Christian,
There have been many times when I've been working on my car and wanted to have arms as slim as mine were when I was 12. Now I'm 37 my arms don't fit into so many places easily. Has your dad asked you to remove the brake booster nuts yet?

I was your age when my dad first got me wrenching on his '67 Jeepster Commando. 4 years later, that Jeep became my DD and by then I knew just about everything about it.
Keep at it. You really can't ask for a better car to cut your teeth on than a C3.

Christain, Welcome to the Corvette forum. You will build
some great memories with your dad while wrenching at such
a young age, and you couldn't have picked a better car or
web forum to be a part of, glad your a part of it now.
Riggs.
