Default Red73 does Corvetteforum proud!

The world needs more honest gentlemen like Red73.
A few weeks ago I posted a topic looking for gears for my 76.
Red73 from New York responded saying he had a new set of 3.55 gears.
Even though I live in Western Canada, we established trust and respect through Corvetteforum.
Red73 would not accept a dime until I had inspected the gears and judged them worthy.
How worthy they are! These Richmond gears will give me many miles of happiness, all because of a guy who went out of his way to help a fellow forum member.
Hats off to Red73 and everyone else that make Corvetteforum the informative and helpful place it is.
Thanks Red73. :cheers:

I also want to make use of this topic to claim Rumpity Rump (Dave) a very honorable guy!

I was posting about my car and he mailed me and offered me to send a Cars & Parts issue that coveres the 1968 427 for absolutely free, just to help a german guy that could not get hold of this issue!

He also deserves great respect from all of us!!! :flag
