I finally registerd as I just acquired a 1981 Corvette, needs a little work (not a lot thankfully, interior stuff) and I'm looking forward to learning more and this seems like the place to be! I know a lot of people say this car is "all show and no go" well, lets just say the new motor in it has been "souped up" lots of go But that wasn't really my concern, it looks great and I have always loved this year. Glad to be here!
