Thanks Adam, looking forward to being active here.  I've always wanted a C3 since having a family friend who sold Corvettes in the 70s. I was an Oldsmobile tech and went to GM school years ago where I got to practice on one of the first C4s in town. I changed careers a few times, but worked my way through school repairing cars in my garage.  Recently I had a neighbor with a 427 '66 he let me drive a few times, and the itch came back.  I adopted a black 1978 project Corvette a few weeks ago and am getting it roadworthy before interior and some minor body work.  As I digest the new challenges I run into I'll post some questions, and chip in where I can.
