Default Hello guys

Just wanted to take a second of your time and say hi to everyone.
I found this site a few months ago and have read it consistently and have now joined.
I currently have a '76 Stingray that I plan on doing some (a lot) work to over the winter and hopefully drive come spring. It has been off the road for almost 10 years so its time to either restore or rethink ever driving it again.
I have found the posts here very helpful and look forward to learning the right way to do things as opposed to how I usually do them.
Cheers and thanks.

Welcome, this board is a wealth of information. With the help from people on this forum I've done repairs to my car I never would have thought I could do myself.

Thanks for the welcome.
I'm actually a little west of the city in a little place called Georgetown.
It is north of Oakville/Mississauga.
Probably like many of you guys I have had my vette longer then I have had the wife and kids, so she has never told me I had to make a choice.
other than that, anything you want to know feel free to ask.
