Hello all!

My father purchased our 1973 Vette over a decade ago. It's been kept in pretty good shape all these years, but it's time for an overhaul. I've really been wanting to put some TLC into this car for some time and it seems I may have the means now.

I had a 1996 Trans Am that was my baby for the last 12 years and I was recently in a 6 car accident which totaled my car. My TA was garaged always and kept beautiful, but now she is gone.

Of course the insurance pay out is not going to get me a new Vette, so I'm wanting to use the settlement I get from my TA to put into the 73 to make her what she deserves to be. So I'm joining up here to get involved in a new community, possibly offer my own knowledge and assistance to anyone here that wants it and also to leverage some of you all for some help in achieving my goals for this project which is sure to be a wonderful adventure. My dad and I are going to be rebuilding the car together... I'm very much looking forward to the time that will be spent.
