Default Hello Folks!

Brand new guy here, dropping a note to say hello-

My Dad has/had an '81 for years, and he recently had a mild stroke, and cant really drive it anymore. So, it's made it's way to my garage, and I'll have plenty of C3 questions in the forums as time goes on. It's in great shape externally, but I have some projects lined up for the interior and engine bay that I'll need to ask about.

I'm not a total noob with working on cars- I've got a 66 GTO that I have been fighting with for years ......
Hopefully the Vette won't fight me every step of the way like that car does!

Anyway, greetings!
