Default Howdy figured I should post here first

Hey Vette folks!

I’m Radar, nickname since 14, now mid 40s. I tattoo and hand engrave firearms for money and mess with cars & bikes for fun.

I barely fit in a C3 but always admired them, so I bought a 1980 disco era ‘not a stingray’ with a base model 350 for my wife’s birthday last year. i was happily surprised she started daily driving it and I was on the hook to maintain it, but with her help because she wants to learn.

I’ve built a lot of mopars and harleys, engines, transmissions, chassis work and fabrication, and body work too. I can do it all but don’t claim to be an expert in anything. I’m not a brand snob I like everything but I usually prefer made in USA.

I came here to share a write up on the top end overhaul we just did on the 1980 c3 so I’m gonna head over and write that before my thumbs get tired of phone typing.

thanks for having me!
