Alert...It's another new guy!
Hey everybody,
New C-3 owner here (as of 9-2-01). I've been "lurking" here at the forum for a couple of weeks and thought I'd introduce myself. I'm Bill, I live in mid-Michigan for the time being. Although it looks as though I'll be relocating to Orlando before the end of the year (can you saw "year round driver"). I just purchased a 73 L-48 Coupe (same year I was born
). It's in pretty good shape. A recent engine rebuild, slightly modified. The car was originally Elkhart Green but repainted in black laquer quite some time ago. There is definitly a paint booth in my near future. Don't know if I'll be much help to anyone but I will have lots of questions. BTW, special thanks to Tom for the 73 site. It has already proven a big help.

Glad you're here. I'm from Ann Arbor, but now settled in Oregon. Still a Michigander at heart. If you're ever near Cooper St. and I-94 in Jackson wave to my Dad up at Ray Printing Co. Good luck with your 'Vette.

Bill, Welcome to the forum. I'm originally from Lansing before moving to Rochester, NY. I come back to Lansing every couple of months to visit my parents, brother and if time allows a trip to Holt Auto Sales to check out his supply of vettes and street rods. Welcome again, Rod :cheers:

Thanks for the welcome fellas. I may have a question or two for you guys tomorrow. I'm installing Ignitor II and checking my timing. I did some searching and found several great posts by Lars. He seems to really know his stuff. We'll see how it goes.

Welcome, lots of great info on this forum. I wish that I could drive my car year round, but I will stick it out in Michigan another year. I live in Armada which is close to Port Huron. I get to your neck of the woods a couple of times a year.
