Default Intro

Hello everyone. Newbie here. I've owned several Vettes over the years. My dad gave me my first one (1979 C3) when I graduated high school in 1983. I wish I still had that car. In 2004, I bought a 2000 C5 and it became a victim of "growing family and the sport car had to go". Kids are older and now I own 2 C3's (1978 Silver Anniversary and more recent 1973 convertible project car).

Retired Navy 3 years ago and looked for something to keep me busy. The 73 is doing that.

Looking forward to passing on ideas and tricks and perhaps learning a few things from some of you.

Tim
