My 40th Anniversary Vert, the addiction continues …
I wanted to re-introduce myself. I know I have some older IDs here, but can’t remember what they are?
Anyway, bought my 1st of Corvette, back in 1972, a ’63 split with a bent frame rail, half the nose gone, power glide. Unfortunately for me I was working at a Corvette shop (Corvettes Unlimited in Medford, MA) and didn’t realize the future value, so I flared the wheel wells, you get the picture. From there, did some fab work for John Silva for the Mako front ends and other stuff. Also built a mold and carved out a ’73 wagon (sorry, it was the 70s).
So, 63 coupe, then 64 roadster, 66 roadster, 68 coupe, 68 roadster and a 2000 roadster which I sold 4 years ago. Fast forward, we moved from NH to FL Vette-less.
A few weeks ago, I stumbled across an ad for a ’07 Vert (local BMW dealer) 3LT, nav, etc and 8,500 miles. Good price and couldn’t resist. Made a good deal and brought her home.
The addiction, the mods and 4 step details continue. Sorry for the long post, but good to be back

thanks guys, don't know why, but no matter the "C" these are hard cars to get out of your system! Spent last weekend detailing and don't recall having more fun.
BSMs may have to go, but I'm up in the air on that.
