Nice to see you here! Is it safe to assume from your title that you have an 1981? 7 years this upcoming week, you need to treat your baby to a oil change, wash, & wax! :D

actually she'll be getting her tranmission rebuilt and a new exhaust.:D she runs great but her parts are getting old; she needs new ones. everything on her is factory original! (except for the tires)

I saw your Vettes photo in the gallery here, always liked that body style, are you going to keep everything stock or will you be adding some aftermarket love to her?

What a classic, hugh fan of the early C1's and C2's. Wish could find one that I could afford! What sort of work do you have done to it?

I would like to keep her all original. The only aftermarket stuff I'll be adding will be new speakers, and radio. :)

I love the C1s & C2s as well but they are very unaffordable. C3s are my favorite though. I haven't had to do anything major to my car. Just the usual... change the brakes, new shocks, new tires, & soon I'll be rebuilding the transmisson, and putting a new exhaust. I'm just waiting on my dad's friend's shop to be available. :)

Is anyone familiar with another corvette forum called CorvetteForum.com? I'm a member there as well and I've gotta say the people here are much nicer. I told people about myself and what I was up to and they had my posts deleted. Some one complained I guess saying it was spam and that I was only there to promote my self interests. :mad: Now I'm not allowed to reply or put up any new posts until a Moderator looks it over & says it's ok. Give me a break! I'm I wrong or is that what "off topic" forums are all about. :confused:

I think what you are refering to is the politics there and it is commercialized. Great photos! What are your plans for your ride?

Its a large site... I have friends in many different forums... in many cases they do watch a little more than they should... you have individuals whom are moderators and with that authority... they let the power go to their head. I have heard this many times.

Thanks, I'm glad you liked them... My plans are nothing major. Just a new exhaust, new interior, rebuild the carb., and rebuild the transmission. I would also like a new paint job but it will be in the same color. :)

They really do let the power go to their head! They just banned me from there site. Suposedly I had multiple IDs. They said that my ban will NEVER be lifted. I think the real reason they banned me was because I probably pissed off the wrong guy... One guy was leaving nasty replys & being very rude so I put him on my Ignore List; shortly after that my post was deleted and the following day I was banned. Qoincidence??? (not sure if I spelled that right)
