Just purchased and will be picking up my first Vette. Been waiting to get one since 1972 (when I was exposed to a brand new yellow 454). Every time I got close to purchasing one something always came up (marriage, kids, larger house, etc) but this time It was do or die. At 43 I figured if I didn't start collecting Vette's now I might never. So I bought a numbers matching 1971 LT1, excellent driver that has a decent second paint job. I feel that its a great entry level Vette either to restore or trade up. Looking forward to getting lots of info and pointers from other Vette owners and hopefully I can someday pass along something.
I tried to attach a picture but no luck.

Welcome to CF!
All I got for Christmas, was a flywheel!
(to go on my new 454)

 

Hey Kev, welcome to the site and Merry Christmas. Good to have you here.

 

Welcome to the forum, and Congrats on the purchase

 

Congrats on your "do or die" purchase and welcome to the site. If you need help posting pictures, please let me know. I'll be happy to help.

 

Welcome aboard Kev. Sounds like a great ride. jump in and join the fun. Cheers

 

Well I finally picked up the Vette and got it on the road. Overall I am very happy with it. Trying to get as much cruising in as possible before putting it away when the snow starts to fall. I have been trying to attach pictures but no matter what I do it comes up an error message.. I tried different photos, even a different camera but no luck. I tried to post the same picture on Plowsite's test forum and it worked there. For some reason I cannot post it, or an avatar. Somewhere down the line I will get it figured out.

 

Well I tried posting pics as per the sites requirements but just cannot seem to get them to download. I have resized them using photoshop but no luck. I even tried them at 1/2 the maximum size. I posted the pics on Plowsite's test area and they worked fine. I also tried using the photo re-sizing site recommended. I was able to post a few pictures in the gallery section under "My 1971 LT1". I am open for suggestions.
Thanks, Kev
