Welcome, Wayne. Always good to have a new voice present that can supply some new tricks/pointers. I have a Son at Grad school in Cincinnati - one year left.
See you around the forum.

Wayne,

Welcome. I've owned four Vettes over the years so I won't hold that against you either.

Welcome Wayne, I also have, or had an 80 Corvette. But I made the mistake of letting the wife drive it to work for a few days, she now drives it all the time. I purchased the 51 f1 to move on to another project sense I very rarely get a chance to drive the Vette.
