Default Introduction

Being new to the forum as a member I wanted to introduce myself. I am living in Switzerland and have a number of older Corvettes and other cars. I usually do all work on my cars on my own but from time to time I need some support from other enthusiasts and specialists which I mostly found on this forum. Aside of travelling and maintaining my cars I like bikes and boats which means all my hobbies are somehow depending on good weather. During winter I try to do some restorationwork and more severe repairs.

Welcome to the Forum, and congratulations on your Corvettes!
I am sure members would like to see pictures of your older Corvettes.
Are they all of one generation?
Great that you have been able to gain beneficial information here.

C4 88 after turnaround on the highway in Italy
My Corvettes are from different generations: C2, C3, C4 and C6
Just as an example: Picture is before new paint, it was difficult to repair as left and right side body was damaged and I did not want to replace panels (which I would do if there is a next time, hopefully not)
