Default Another Newbie

Hey all, I'm a newbie to this forum and to owning a Corvette. About a month ago I got my '74 coupe and naturally looked to the internet for info, well I've found more answers here just using your search than I would have from most of the mechanics in my area, what a great community. The things I've learned on my own are, a 30 year old car is not immune to aging because it is a Corvette, electrical is not Corvette's strong suit, and if you are persistent an amateur can get it done. Looking forward to possibly contributing instead of leaching.
:hurray: :auto: :D

Haven't had time for anything special (pictures that is) but I have few. Just have to read the FAQs how to do it, I don't have any kind of web hosting thing just on my own harddrive. :confused:
