Thanks everyone.
A little background:
I've owned my '71 vert since 1999. I do all my own work. I've completely rebuilt my drive train, suspension and have done many mods to it.
It's a ZZ4 350 4-speed. Van Steel offset trailing arms, composite rear spring and the list goes on.
About me:
I'm an engineer for a semiconductor company. We make memory. I've been doing that for coming up on 30 years . Before that I was an aircraft mechanic for a major airline after spending 4 years in the Air Force as a jet engine mechanic. I like to think I know my way around a wrench.
Now for some pictures:








My last project was my Mr. Mike Fiero seat covers and conversion:



Look forward to mixing it up around here. Thanks to SnikPlosskin for directing me here.

Nice Vette. Neighbor had one of those when I was a kid. Never saw it run, just a garage queen, but I sure did drool over it

Kinda like the yellow'ish thing myself (sits a few inches lower since this picture was taken) -

War Bonnet Yellow is my jam. It's my second favorite C3 color as Ontario Orange is my favorite but I just couldn't find a good one in that color. WBY was the most popular C3 color in 1971 but I guess that groovy '60's color went out of style quickly as you don't see many around in WBY. I suspect most were painted red ( sorry, red just doesn't do anything for me) over the years.

Welcome to the VB!

We’ll need pics of wife or girlfriend. Or both if you’re into that.

I'd tell you to eat a bag of dicks, but seems you are already on that.

Nope. He has adopted some of her behaviors which is odd. Every morning Hanna would wait for me on my bed to get out of the shower. Shadow NEVER did that. Now, there he is every morning.
