I actually registered awhile back. It was so long ago I forgot my name and password, so I had to get that redone today. Anyway, I am loving the forum, and Ive had my '79 since I was 14 when my grandfather passed away. I was driving it when I was 9 :) Anyway, I will post a pic soon. Thanks guys, keep the wave going!

Thanks everyone for the great welcome. Just to clarify, Im not that young, Im 25. Actually, Im kinda old....
Anyway, thanks for all the warm welcomes. I know that this is something I should have really been active on a long time ago. I am joining the Black Squadron (I think that is what its called) and the 79 registry soon. :cheers:

Dave,
Welcome! My first Corvette was a '79 (White/Oyster). I added the Pace Car spoilers to mine. Loved the look. Wish I still had it sometimes (in addition to my '72!! :D ).

25....kinda old :confused: .... Your Corvette is almost older than you!! :lol:

Post some more pics when you get a chance!!

Yeah, I love the PC spoilers. I havent gotten all the option codes for mine yet, are they located in the glove box? I dont know why I never looked them up. I might have though, a long time ago :) Mine seems to have most all the options, pwr everything, lthr, cruise (not working), tilt/tele, CB radio, defroster. I want to check, but I dont think it was ordered with the alum wheels.

As far as the Black Sheep Squadron, all you need to do is e-mail Jim Willis (AKA Savewave) at jdwillis@mindspring.com and he'll e-mail you with what he needs to know and the code to include in your signature.

Welcome, and NICE VETTE!!! :cool: :D :cheers:
