Gentlemen, I'm new to the Corvette family and hope to rely on you all's expertise and knowledge for the cars. I must fist say that I am a Camaro guy and never really looked at the Corvette as a car I ever wanted to obtain. I was looking to buy a new Camaro in the next couple of years as a weekend car and leave it at that. Then on my 30th birthday my Dad called me and said he was going to give me his 90 Vette as my gift. At first I was reluctant to accept and even graciously declined the offer due to my lack of knowledge of the car. Needless to say, after jumping on this site I got the itch to take on this car. The car looks good for a 90, but could use some work. I looked forwad to this project and will be dropping off pics as I go and hope to obtain some helpful knowledge from some of you along the way. Cheers!

welcome and congrats on your new vette. You've probably already noticed that corvettes arent that much different from Camaros. Feel free to ask us any questions.
