Hi All
Hi ALL, I have recently inherited a 69 Corvette roadster along with a passion/obsession to put her back the way she was when she rolled off the line in Oct. of 1968. Mostly in tack this beauty was stripped of her original engine somewhere along the way. After tracking down, having rebuilt to factory specs, and installing an original Corvette L-46 350 I can sleep again. Now for me the work begins. I am looking forward to the challenge and being able to contribute and benefit from the corvette forum and the great wealth of knowledge contained herein. Thanks Dan T
