New here

Marty from south central Mo.here

Just wanted to say Hi and give and intro.
You can put me in the middleage crisis group cause my wife and freinds have
tagged me as such.
First Vette Experience:
My 83 Camaro that I ordered came in with the dealers first C4 and I was the
first (non Chevy employee) to drive it. The salesman and I took it to lunch
while my Camaro was being prepped. Being a former employee in good standing
had it's benefits ;-)
Hot rodding was my favorite pastime but in the mid 80s I traded it off for
airplanes and a boat. I did however hang onto a 63 Pontiac Tempest
Convertible for the last 13 years.
Now I have dumped the airplane, the boat is for sale and I bought an 84 C4
that is in need of TLC.
A new interior is on it's way along with some other trim parts and a
weatherstrip kit, new wheels and skins are on, service and performance
manuals are on order and I've spent many hours on tightening loose screws
plus recording the ones missing (lazy body shop) for replacement.
Total investment thus far is approaching $8g and I'm loving every minute of
it.
Oh yeah, I bought it last Wed.and the Vette looks quite comfy in the garage
next to the Tempest.

I still have my 87 IROC (T-tops, 305, yellow-gold paint job with original
decals); will need headliner soon though.
