Putting the pics on dvd is an excellent idea.

My wife could not give a rats azz about corvettes but i still tell her that she has to look at this, this guy (Alan) has a perfect picture of every single piece on car someone asks about.
Thank you for the visual references Alan.

Well I guess I might be on the other side of the fence. His pictures are great. As for holier then thou he has mentioned a few things to me either in a PM or my thread that I did not appreciate. I seems he feels everyone is entitled to his comments. I can't remember the last time he helped me with anything other then to put my soap opera thread down. So enclosing I can't relate to most of what you guys are saying.

Ya, Im a noob with a 73 and he's helped me a lot already.
His pictures are amazing. he must have a thousand hours just taking pictures. His car is by what every other C3 should be judged by.
Now that I think about it I don't think Ive ever seen a full shot of it, just bit and pieces.

So much for my theory about him owning a time machine that works perfect but only goes back to 1971

You are the only one that knows what was said in personal posts but I feel that if you put the question out there you shouldn't be surprised if your answer is a bit different than what you expected. I am not looking for personal friends I have lots but none of them can assist me in the ways Alan and his wealth of pics can. Phil

Alan is one of the most helpful members on the C3 forum. I just want to let him know that many of us really appreciate his contributions.

Thank You

Well, I am happy for you! I am also not looking for personal friends and I put no one on a pedestal including Alan71.
Sorry!

Just having the pictures to look at, even without an index would be of great interest.

I wonder how many pictures he has of the car and related parts.

Notice we only see the finished part? I would also love to see the pictures of the rebuild.

Anyway

AND- If you can't say something nice- don't say anything at all...


Alan's pics have been a SUPER help to me- my car has been apart for years and using the crappy copy of a copy AIM manual just doesn't cut it sometimes.

THANKS Alan-

I haven't been on here in a few weeks but I just noticed I can't see his posts any more. I see them quoted but not the originals.

we all know what a picture is worth as the saying goes and he does have many great clear photos.problem is i would have to imagine them with the crud to cross reference them.i photographed all the work i did as i was going along and recommend all to do the same.so much shows up under the flash that you might miss while in the heat of repairs.being able to post them here is a bonus to help others.
