Default Another New Guy in FL

Hi All from the Orlando area,

New to forum but not new to Vettes. I've been lurking the forums for a while getting info to fix/customize my Vette for a very long time now. I figured it was high time I actually registered. Mine is a 73 Coupe with a 454 and 4 speed. My Dad bought it new and gave it to me a few years back hence my handle. I've been slowly taking care of things and making it my own. I still have a lot plans for it. Looking forward to getting to know you all and sharing all the knowledge that the members have.
