Hey Chip,
That's good info. for all of us!  Thumbs Up
When I was looking at C3's I knew about some of the rust prone areas but not all of them.
I walked away from a newly painted '73 with a somewhat worked 327. There wasn't much left of the frame fore of the rear wheels.
Thanks for a good point of reference!
Kevin

You are right Bob, the old forum software changed text color and I think underlined all links, the new doesnt treat them the same way.  I also noticed that there was no button to edit a post once you submit it like in the old software.
 
OOPS, I overlooked it, its under "post options" which I should have noticed.

I usually insert a link in BOLD lettering, to make them easier to see. The new forumware still changes the colors of the links to blue, and they are underlined. It's just the font of the text...it makes it a little more difficult to see a hot link unless it's differentiated in some way. Certain monitors may not show a link as clearly as others, either...
