Default I'm new. Yikes.

I've inherited a 65, 67, and 69 corvette from my father. The cars are all in various stages of restoration. I was hoping to use this site as a resource and a jumping off point in finishing the cars. I'm in possession of his copy of the Noland Adams V2 Restoration Guide but it looks like that isn't complete enough.

I have a fairly deep history of working on cars and I have a full garage at my disposal. Although most of my work has been on early 90's toyotas.

Anyway, cheers!

Dude, what an amazing collection of cars!! If you haven't done so already the NCRS.org/forum site will be extremely helpful, as well. Enjoy finishing the restoration on your Dad's collection of irreplaceable Americana.

Thanks for the links and the warm welcome. I've done some searching and have started with grabbing shop and assembly manuals. That should be a good start and provide countless hours of toilet reading.

Welcome

I'd suggest look for a local Corvette clubs. You'll find plenty of people who played with Vettes over the years that could lend some advice.
