Default Hello from the Ozarks

Just bought my wife a 2007 Corvette Convertible recently. Already learning a number of things in this forum as I fixed some maintenance issues. I'm a retired Air Force guy currently managing a large IT team. So for our 25th wedding anniversary I bought her a beautiful silver convertible with a red interior. It was the interior that sold her.
I also build old hot rods when I have time. Just finishing a 1960 Chevrolet Biscayne Hot Rod. Painted it Corvette pewter on the sides and gloss black on top. Huge tires and custom everything. Lots of fun. I also have 1957 Chevy Nomad that has waited way too many years to get her turn. She will be next and already has a Camaro front suspension and a Vette rear is waiting to be dropped in behind the 427ci big block wrapped and sealed for it to come to life.
Married with two teenaged sons and one long grown. Life is good and I am blessed beyond belief.
"Lovin' Life!"
