Default Introduction

Greetings Everyone...

I'm new to this forum with the help from Michael who helped me get signed up. I just purchased a 1979 Corvette last week. I Love it. Mechanically, its almost in perfect condiction with very low original Mileage. In time, I hope to get to know you all but in the mean time, I'll be waving a hand to you all. My 1st. name is Jim but I can be found in this forum under the name TATTOO53...
I own my own business so chances are I won't be in this forum till after 6pm (EST). Feel free to drop me a line anytime.
Take care
Jim
TATTOO53
A special thanks goes out to Michael AKA "Platato".........
