Default **New Member!** '76 stingray

I would like to introduce myself, my name is Curt.
I have owned my '76 stingray for about 3 years now and because I had recently started my own business and been going to school almost full time, I could never get my vette up and running the way It should be.

Well after watching that thing sit there in the drive way with flat tires every day for 2 years I have finally budgeted the time to start working on it.
I'm afraid I’m going to be using all of your expertise quite extensively for the next couple of weeks while I get the majority of the small yet tedious mechanical blemishes' repaired on my beauty.

I took a roll of film today and I’m going to scan it tomorrow and post it on the site to give you all an idea of what I’m dealing with.

Any help that I receive from this plethora of information at corvetteforum.com is VERY VERY appreciated and I would like to extend my hand to any of you how that provide assistance to me a helping hand when it comes to anything related to computers or web sites as that happens to be my profession.

Look forward to talking to you soon.

Thanks
Curtis

Hey there!

Welcome to the family. I just bought a '76 which I'm going to start restoring come winter. Hopefully some of your questions will answer mine and vice versa. :)

Welcome Curt.

I don't want to scare you, but take a look at the pics at my site.
They will show you the worst to expect.

There are many people here that are experienced beyond belief.
Keep your eyes and ears open - post some pics - and they will tell it
to straight. Don't be afraid to ask stupid questions, and most of all -
have some fun !!

Welcome to the forum. I started "resurrecting mine a little over a year ago. It was in a chicken match with a Semi truck. But it is almost done. Ask any Q's I am sure someone here has the answer.
You might run out of Money before you run out of time though.

Thanks every one.
I pulled the beuty in to the shop yesterday and took some pics for you all to catch a glimps of.
Now i'm still learning this forum so i just built a quick and dirty HTML page and here is the link. http://www.intermountainrv.com/hidden/files/c

This location is temporary as i'm actually performing some updates on my server right now.

Thanks for all the encouragement. This week i'm going to come up with all kinds of fun questions for the experts :D

I'm off to read some other posts now (My girl freind is pissed i found this web site :mad becuase now she has some competition)
