Default Hello

Hi everyone.
I'm new here, obviously, and I just wanted to introduce myself.
I'm Jordan, I'm in the Navy, and about to be sitting in Norfolk for a year.
I'm about to take on restoring a 79 Corvette.
I have never done anything like this (I'm a fabricator....fiberglass, interior, that kinda stuff), but this is going to be my first attempt at restoring a whole vehicle.
Got to learn somewhere, and I am the type that prefers to jump it and start pulling wires.

Anyway, I am sure that I am going to have TONS of questions. Rebuilding engines, transmissions, etc....

Look forward to working with some of y'all.

Talk to y'all soon.
