Hello follow Vette owners and fans. Just wanted to say thanks for allowing me to join. I've been a life long fan of Corvette's since I was a teenager, and have fon memories working on my neighbors 68 and 71 back in the lates 80's. Yes, I know... I just dated myself. Anyway, I just a picked up a 2000 Convertible for my next project. I've learned a ton already just by reading the posts, and I apperiacate it. Thanks!
I look forward to working on the project with my son, who is currently in school studying to become a professional machanic at Universal Technical Inst.
I look forward to virtually meeting you all...
I also starting a Youtube channel for this project... But, I have quickly learned the amout of effort to create quality vidoes. I'm not there yet!

Welcome to the Forum!
Congratulations on your C5 and how nice that you can make this a father-son project. Great bonding time for you both and the hands-on experiences will help reinforce, even more, what he is learning at UTI.

The trans I swapped this weekend with a little help from my son and his friend. Convertible top, already purchased, some interior parts, and basic maintenance items.
