Hello everyone. Thought I would stop in and introduce myself.. My name is Vince, from Arizona and I'm in the process of restoring my oldman's 61 vette. He use to drag race it in the late 60s and early 70s. Crashed in the mid 80s so I'm in the process of getting her back into shape... Hopefully this is a good place to get info because I really don't know to much about them, like what parts are interchangable, etc... Need some suspension parts so if you guys have any ideas throw them at me. Anyways, thanks in advance!!

Vince

Thanks everyone.. I'm truly amazed with this site so far.. A ton of knowledgable people!!! Taking the vette on Wednesday to make sure the frame is straight and hopefully I can move forward.. I'm sure it's going to be a long journey but hopefully I'll see the light soon enough!!! I have one picture up from when my oldman drag raced in the late 60s and early 70s.. I'll take some of what it looks like now hopefully this weekend!!
