Default another new guy

I've been a forum reader for a while but just got signed up. I've got a 70 that I've owned since since 1990. I've done a bunch of mods and almost all have been done by myself. summer = drive ; winter = wrench time.

Great to have another '70 owner on the forum! Welcome. :seeya What are the last 5 digits on your vin number may I ask? I'm curious to see when yours was produced. You may want to check out the '70 registry at http://corvetteforum.net/c3/1970regi...0Registry.html Lots of good information in there! :seeya
