Suffering from Corvette withdraw
IÂ’ve been reading corvetteforum.com for a little over a year now but today I decided to become a member. I must say, the vast array of knowledge on this site is amazing. A big thanks goes out to the knowledgeable, friendly members who take their time to help out those who need a little help finding solutions. Also, thanks to the supporting members who make this sight possible. I have learned a lot.
IÂ’m 23 years old. I purchased my 1975 Corvette coupe when I was 16. As a child I walked past it every day on my paper routes. I used my paper route money to purchase the car in 96 for $6800.
I have only one problem. My car is in Iowa and I am in Kuwait serving our nations army in this war on terror. The problem is IÂ’m going crazy being away from my Vette. I started a body off restoration in 2002 an am currently at the chassis reassembly stage.
For now the only thing I can do I read corvetteforum.com and dream. Any thoughts?

Corvettes are addicting... When you are without one you can become miserable, senile grouchy, and generally obnoxious. The cure is another Corvette
