Default Newbie!

Hi folks, I just joined and wanted to introduce myself. My father just recently passed away and willed me his 1970 LT1. It's in terribly bad shape and needs a full restoration as far as I can tell at this point. I'm pretty much completely new to the car world (yes I know I'm setting my goals wayyy to high). One of my first memories was of standing on the passenger seat of that beauty about 4 yrs old. You see why it's now become my dream to restore this thing. I'll try to post a few pictures of the beast once I have it delivered to my place. At any rate, just wanted to say hi and hope to speak to you fellow Corvette lovers in the future!
