    New guy, New car

    Hi new guy here, I just picked up my new 1966 Corvette last weekend. Mostly number match, 350hp, 4 speed , AC, no rust but Arizona sun put the hurt on it. I am waiting for the books I have ordered to come in and I can't wait to start on it. I am new to Corvettes so I don't know much. I wanted to just say hi. I will be back. Thanks Terry

        Terry,

        Welcome! Enjoy the "new" car. It should be a lot of fun for you. There is a ton of information you can get from this board too. I would try to get the car to a Chapter meet for judging before I did anything to the car. You can learn from my mistake. You might have a very valuable original car.

        Good luck,
        Terry Buchanan

            Hi, Thanks for the welcome. The corvette does not run, some parts were stolen over the years, carb. valve covers, starter ect. But I belive I will be able to find them again. Thanks Terry

              Hi Terry,
              I'll say welcome too, to both the NCRS and the Board.
              From looking at your pictures it seems like you have a nice solid start.
              I'd enjoy seeing updates as you proceed.
              Good Luck!
              Regards,
              Alan

                  Terry,

                  I completed a 1963 body off years ago, I'm working on a 63 &67 at the same time. Yes, I need help!

                  But seriously, ANY question I had or have, the folks on this site have provided accurate information in pretty much every situation I've run into.

                  Piece of advice...ask the question and wait a few days for the answers, you'll be bery pleased.

                  Jerry
