Hey everybody,
I am a new member to the forum. I have posted a few times, but never really introduced myself. I live in Florida. I am currently in the process of "upgrading" my 76. I do have to thank my dad and my brother for their help.
I have owned the car since '96. It is my first vette and my first V8. It was my daily driver for several years, but is now in peices awaiting a new drivetrain and suspension.
I wish I had some pics to share, but I don't have a digital camera. I hope to get one soon, so I can show you what I'm working on.
I have enjoyed your posts, and I look forward to talking with you in the future.

Joe

Welcome.My first V-8 was in a 67 Chevelle convertible. I am sure everyone has had at least one stupid event in their life they would like to forget, and mine was trading the Chevelle in on a brand new 1974 Chevy Vega GT. Still want to kick my own a** every time i think about it even though the top was held together with duct tape just like the seats and i threw a piston that really screwed up the engine.

Welcome!

I sold my 68 Camaro SS to buy a 77 Monte Carlo when I was in College. Something I would like to forget!
