My first corvette!
Hi, my name is Mike and I live north of Pittsburgh, PA. I just purchased my first vette, a 1972! I've always wanted a C3 and when the opportunity came I jumped on it. Here is a pic:
I plan on freshening things up a bit, nothing too drastic. I will be asking questions as time goes on.
I am a cabinet builder (hence my username) with my own business which I started in 2002. I rebuilt a 1979 camaro Z28 years ago and love taking it to cruises or to get ice cream. Here is a pic of it:
Anyways, I look forward to talking to all of you, picking your brains on technical stuff and looking at all the fantastic rides!

Fine looking '72 you bought and that Z28 is very sharp too.
Enjoy while you can.
