Hello, just bought my first vette (76). Was surfin around looking for a good source of information for restoring her when I found you guys. No doubt I'll have alot of questions in the future, especially after trying to find parts for a 76. I should have a pic displayed with this post, if not.. oh well.

welcome aboard nate76. wonderful place for information with many helpfull people. to post a pic you must upload it to a seperate server. i use cardomain. once uploaded i right click the pic, select properties, copy the web address, then when making a post here click the "image" button below text box. this will be displayed "[img][img]". past the address right between the parenthesis. then the image will be displayed in your message. hope this in't too confusing.
