Default New memeber 1978 vette

Greetings, Don't know why I've waited so long to become a member of a corvette forum but here I is.

I have a 1978 corvette with a 383 stroker. I bought it 5 years ago off of Ebay and it has been driven a few days a month since. I am looking to spending a little more time and money in it so I can drive it more.

I do have a question, is there a section here that members can go to and find other members that live near by? I guess I'm looking for a friend that has a C3 and might lend a hand or advice in some of the repairs I'm looking to do.

Thanks,

Den

Welcome. You can check the appropriate regional section of the forum and always make a post asking others in your area to identify themselves.

You can also go to the members list and use the advanced search function to query on your location and see what turns up (might want to just try the state and that will give you more hits).

Welcome to the forum, there is a section for C3's in the forum there you can post your tech questions. Good luck!
