Default Finally saying hello
Hello CF, I'm a new member (been here about a week), and recently picked up a '68 Convertible, by the name of Marilyn (pictured). I've got a few plans for her. I suppose I should start a thread for that. Looking forward to (more) advice and wisdom.

Cheers,
Corby

Great advice - I'll definitely heed it.

Cheers,
