Hello From Ohio
Hello everyone, and nice to be part of this forum. I am from Buckeye Nation and joined this forum as I need a lot of help. I had a good friend who passed last year with his 65 Roadster about 30% complete on a frame off restoration. He had owned the car since 1967 but it had not run for over 40 years. He was a really good friend and I have restored a fair number or cars (Mopars and Pontiac's) but never a Vette.
I have spend the last week sorting through all the new parts but there are several things I cannot find the answers to so will be on here a lot. Thanks to all and looking forward to participating here
