A late hello.
Hi All,
I joined the forum a few years back, but never did a proper introduction. I haven't been on here for a few years.
Anyways, I live in Akron, Ohio.
My toys are: a 73 chevelle SS 454 that I have had since 1990.
68 corvette coupe that I have had since 1998. It has the L-79 327. My Dad bought the Vette in 1971. It has been in the family since. It had a frame off in 1994. It still has many of the original parts. The drivetrain is all original except for the water pump and the carb, both of which are long gone. Over the past 10 yrs I have replaced the carpet, forward wiring & engine harness & weather stripping. Currently doing the rear carpet and have decided to do the rear wire harness since it is out in the open now.
I enjoyed browsing the politics forum on here. It looks like I will fit right in.
