Hi Johan,
Sounds like you have a nice Vette and a great year. Post some pics for us. I'd love to see what you have done on your Vette.
Here's how to post pics.
Go to photobucket.com and open a free account.
After your done, browse for the pics on your PC, pick & download the files. Once downloaded click on and copy the IMG code, mine does this automatically when I move the cursor over the code list below each image, and paste the code in your thread or post. You’re done.
Glenn

Hello Thank.s everybody.

I live in Uddevalla in Sweden 60 miles north from Gothenbourg.
And here in Sweden i.ts winter and snow 4-5 moths a year so we have a lot off time to
be in the garage and build Cars.
No the Swedich Economy is not so good. But then you do like me work in Norway 14/28 Offshore on an oilrigg.
Just a simple Scaffolder. he He He.

See you
