Default New guy from TX

Whats up guys? Name is JT, I am obviously new here.

So I finally bought the car Ive waned for years, a 76 Stingray (Ive wanted any pre-78 Vette). Its a nice ride and runs fairly well but I have a few issues like any 37 year old car would I suppose... so came here to hopefully get a little help... but thats for another section of the forum.

Just wanted to introduce myself as I think I will be around quite a bit now that I am finally an owner. Id post some pics up but looks like I cant upload with my level of account and I do not have them uploaded to link to just yet. I will get to it though, promise!

EDIT: After making my 1st post, noticed the garage link on the side so uploaded a quick pic there... the other vehicle is my 41 Ford (Im a Ford guy that loves older Vettes, sue me)

Greetings JT,

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your purchase! It looks great. How does it feel to be a 'Vette owner?

There you go-the 41 (sorry-called it a 40) has the heart of a Chevy!
