New guy here
Just to say Hi to the forum. Quick background: My first Corvette (allways loved 69's) is a recently purchased, very used/worn 1969 427/435 T-Top zero option (except horsepower) car. I was lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time and trailered home this fine project without completly depleting my savings account. Now the fun begins, and this forum I am sure will be a fine source of information. Pictures soon to follow.
So Hi everybody!

Re: New guy here (Flareside)
welcome! A vette is like a bottomless pit as far as money is concerned.
I know you will get alot of enjoyment brining it back to life. Any of these guys I know will help you in any way they can.

Welcome to the Forum. Just remember, the most important tool you will need to work on the Vette, $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. Plan on spending twice as much as you first planned.

Would love to see pictures! By chance do you have at least a 3 car garage? Remember, the joy is in the journey. At least that is what I keep telling myself :lol:

Welcome to the family of Corvette owners, and the forum! I am also new to both.
I have found the forum to be very helpful, and entertaining in the short time I have been on it.
