Default Greetings and Introduction

Have to admit I have been lurking around this fabulous forum for a few years now and not being a group type guy, never joined. Of course that was foolish, so I am happy to be a new member now in order to take full advantage of the wealth of knowledge available to members provided by all you fellow corvette enthusiasts. It’s one of the best resources out there. I am the 3rd owner of a ‘72 LS5 survivor “ grade “ coupe very original and very complete, 68000 documented miles, which I have been preserving and updating gradually over the years to maintain it as a reliable driver while trying to adhere to an unmolested originality theme. Current projects are exhaust hangars and gaskets, donuts etc and cleaning the underbody fibreglass and all underbody metal parts of grime and surface rust then protecting metal parts and so on. Hope to chime in and add posts of interest along the way. Thanks for keeping this forum going strong.
