Welcome! Nice cars! I took pictures of your yellow & green ones there at the 50th kickoff at the NCM.

You need a little help with your web site though... you have links that point to your hard drive :)

I have a friend here in Augusta that has a C3 Greenwood (don't remember what year).

Wayne Ellwood of Shark Quarterly fame was thinking about putting together a site dedicated to the Greenwoods. I don't know what ever happened there, as I haven't chatted with him in a few months now.

Craig,

TOO COOL!!! The best part is that in your 1979 widebody you have a 1990 L98. In your 1991 Vette you have a 1969 SBC 400. That really is crazy!! :eek:

I would love to hear some background on what made you go w/ the older motor in the newer vette.

Welcome to the forum, I must say that is pretty cool putting a carbureted 406 in the C4. That is what kept me away from C4's, the fuel injection and computer. Did you throw away the computer too ?

I don't recall any frequent visitors that have the Daytona body kit like yours.
Personally, I don't care for it much - but that paint more than makes up for
the excess 'glass. I love it - the checkered flag even extends into the Apillar
door jamb area. Nice job !!

Olivier's (above) is the closest I've seen here to your widebody.

Welcome !! :seeya

Thanks everyone for such a warm welcome. I appreciate the great comments you have made. I think I will like it here :thumbs:

Actually the C3 is in the paint shop again getting a face lift. The yellow didn't match my C5 mil yel vert so we had to fix that! Seeing it tomorrow hopfully will have new picts to post.


This cover is strickly just a computer mockup I did. It was not created by Vet Mag
