Hello all from Iowa
Hi everyone,
I would like to introduce myself. My name is Izzy. I've owned 2 c5 corvettes now. My current one is black on black couple with 6spd. I love driving this car EVERYWHERE when weather permits. I've always loved the looks of the C3. Last summer I bought myself a 81 for a project car. Body is a little rough, engine doesn't have enough power and there aren't enough pedals (if you know what I mean). I've bought all my engine components to get more power and will be installed once it warms up enough to get out in the garage and my hands don't freeze. I've got a 97 f body t56 that I will be installing and still need to get a cast iron diff (71-79) to rebuild and take the power I'm putting in front of it.
With all of the questions I have, I utilize Google quite a bit and this forum ALWAYS comes up and always seems to have solid advise especially when it's coming from tracdogg2 (mike) or gtr1999 (Gary).
I look forward to learning as much as possible and also sharing my abilities and experiences I have.

Sounds like you will have a fun, but busy, time with the C3. Meanwhile, enjoy the heck out of the C5.
