Just keep in mind that '72 was the best year ever for vettes....come think of it, not so bad a year in my dating life either.....

:D :D :D

I see Mantauk on your logo there, I remember everyone but ME getting sick on the Block Island Ferry some 21 years ago....they stayed below and got sick together in the rough weather, I stood on the bow with the rest of the damn drunks, and every time that old boat took one over the bow, the captain would toot the horn and we'd pass the bottle around....I never did drink any though, just tip it up was quite enough....man that deck was slippery, and the waves rough....Block Island is very nice, I remember well....

GENE :D :D :D :D

Love Montauk been there and fished there many times. Remember that you bought this car to have some fun.

Don't get so consumed with it to get what your username is when things go wrong. And believe me they will go wrong. With a 30 year old car even the simplest of jobs can turn into an adventure.

If your car was an east ender for any period of time check the frame. Corvettes do rust. Welcome to the club, the forum, and to the world of Corvettes.
