Hello All,
I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I am new to this site and a new Corvette owner. I am looking for a site that is both informative as well as " Owner " friendly. You see I inherited a 75 Corvette when my my father passed away. He bought it a few months before he passed. It is in good shape considering its age. It has no body flaws and runs well. I would like to complete the job my dad didnt have the chance to start. But since I never restored a car before I am looking for people that could offer their expierience, patience and friendly advise. I hope I found just the right forum.

Thank you
Dave

Welcome to the Forum Dave and very sorry about the passing of your Father

That's a very nice looking 75 and this is a owner friendly and informative forum.

Welcome to the Forum!!!!!!!!! Sorry for your loss. I hope you are able to carry on with the Corvette project to honor your dad. You don't say what your abilities are, other than having never restored a car before. It isn't a project for the faint of heart. Lots of work and knowledge are needed to do it right. Might be prudent to consider a professional for the job. Or at least find someone local willing to help you. You can ask in the Regional Forum for where you live (you didn't fill in your profile for location) and talk to the folks in the C3 General Forum for help. Best of luck. Enjoy the project and the Forums.
