Keep an eye open in the Great Lakes forum. There's a lot of local folk, we get together quite often. It would be nice to see a few more C3'rs.

Hey erock:
Although I'm not close, I hang up in Bartlett on occasion. I also work with two guys who live there so I know the area. Lots of cruise in's throughout the summer up by me (Gurnee) so your always welcome to drop in. Once the weather turns....my 72 will be terrorizing the streets so maybe we'll get together then. If your serious about the electrical help, I JUST MIGHT TAKE YOU UP ON IT!!!
P.S. Look for a red 77 in the Bartlett area. (She's a friend of mine)

Up here in Pecatonica ( or as Harry Carray would say- Peekatoneeka), its only about a hour and a half away. Let me know if your up in the Rockford area. Suppose to have a local corvette run the last weekend in April that usaully goes over to the Miss and up thru Galena into Wisc and around. That is if I get my new 383 in, new hood and paint done. My buddies are betting against me. Some friends...

I'm just up the road from you in South Elgin. I have 2 76's, an L48 auto and an L82 4 spd. As soon as the weather breaks I will start working on the L82 as it needs paint and interior freshing up. The L48 is 98% done. Lot's of cruise nights around here, Fox Valley Corvette Club and other Corvette clubs.
