Default Hello!

I just wanted to say Hi and introduce myself as the latest New-B! We currently own a 65 Corvette Convertible. Yellow with a black top and 87,000 original miles on the 327. The original owner had a bog block hood installed (which I happen to love). Anyways I am hoping to learn some tech info here as we are planning to do a frame off resto some time in the near future.

I also have a 68 firebird that is currently under the knife for a complete resto. I am actually thinking of putting it on hold to start the vette project. I look forward to the discussion and learning from other hobbiest.

I lived there until I started college - now in Huntsville, AL. My parents are still there, so I'm back every so often, although it's been a while since my last visit.

You gotta get back and visit the folks! Did you go to DB? What year did you graduate? I graduated from Central in 89', traveled a little for work and was supposed to move to Texas, but hated it (No offense to the TX folks), so I decided to pursue a career here in the Tri-Cities. Glad I did because I met my wife and we have two wonderful children.
