Welcome. Look listen learn. Repeat.
I have recently determined that the CF is not so much addictive, as it is
brain-washing us to think about vettes all day long every day. Brainwashed, I say!! :yesnod:

:iagree: Welcome aboard!! I guess I could introduce myself too, since I'm also new here. I just signed on this week and I've already lost count of how many times I've checked back. CF seems like an awesome place to get help, exhange info, ideas, parts, stories, etc. and I love it. As far as my corvette goes, it's nothing special - 1980, green on the outside, doeskin on the inside, glass T-tops, auto trans, and the engine, well, I'm still trying to figure out exactly what model the engine is and where it came from since I don't think it's the original.

I've been working on it for the last 18 months, just trying to get it to a point where I can have fun driving it :steering: (in addition to working on it). There should be a web page in my profile detailing most of the work I've done to it if anyone is interested.

Yes, Welcome! I haven't been here long, but it's been great. Only thing is, I spend too much time here instead of out in the (heated, no less) garage working on the cars. Oh well, I figure I'm getting educated, anyways! :cheers:
