hello from newbie

64bb · 03-08-04, 04:46 PM

finally got around to entering this forum and want to say hi to everyone. i recognize some of the names from other forums, so i know there are good people on this one. i look forward to learning from the group. i have a 64 vert with a 427 of some sort or another in it. the engine was put together by someone in michigan, but all i know is that it is a solid lifter with bad idle vacuum. it is a five footer and a very reliable driver. i have never had it in the shop in the 5 years i've owned it and have worked on just about everything since it was a non-drivable partially disassembled car when i had it delivered to wisconsin. the hardest two things i have done are the rear bearings and the tranny rebuild, and i could not have done this without lots of advice from forum members. the tech tips save big $$$$$$$$ and the jokes make every forum visit worthwhile. thanks to everyone.

Hello, I'm new here as well. I too recieved my 65 Conv partially disassembled. I have most all the originally parts, but I too am awaiting a shipment from C corvettes. I'm sure I'll be asking alot of questions.....just like the one I posted yesterday about the cam and lifters......anyway, thanks for the help I'm sure this forum will be providing.

Amazing!! 3 new members in the same thread. The warmest welcome to you all. It is remarkable how this C1&C2 Forum has grown in the last year or so. There is a great bunch of old Corvette nuts here and a lot of expertise. I hope you can get those beautys out on the 3rd weekend in May for the Corvette Action Center's first national get together. Follow this CruiseFest link for more information.

I agree. I'm trying to get my project done in time to make the CruiseFest ....no promises, but I'm trying.

New member in Maryland here. Past owner of 9 vettes, mostly mid years (I know they're now called C2's, but old habits die hard). My favorite is the 1967 flavor. Last one was a 327/350hp coupe. As you have been reading, I'm tracking down a 67 427/400 car and I'd like to have it in time to go to the cruisefest and see 67Heaven's finished product. BTW, 67 Heaven, how many times have you been told your pic looks like Dr Johnny Fever....or am I dating myself with my vette preference and references to old tv shows? Anyway, glad I found this forum, always good to get a variety of views and tons of knowledge all in one place.
