A few weeks ago I was able to purchase my dream car, a 1992 ZR-1 #145. She is Polo Green with 43k miles. I'm in the process of getting things sorted out, cleaned and fixed. Since I'm in IL, I've already been to Haibeck Automotive Technology for an inspection. I've made plans to bring her back to Marc and Bob when they are ready.

In the meantime, I wanted to introduce myself and post a couple pictures.

I was in awe there. As Marc looked over the car, it was a thrill to see him call out each thing that was out of sort. I was able to correct a few of them already to get that busy work out of their way

I did get some deep cleaning done while I was replacing wheel hubs, ball joints and pads/rotors a weekend ago. I have to say that using videos posted on YouTube from Chris at My Corvette Life were very helpful. https://www.youtube.com/c/chrisdraper2007/featured

Glad to be part of the forums! I'll do my best to share cool things and experiences.

Grats! Beautiful car...I'm partial to 92 ;-)

It's great you're so close to Marc. I just got my car back to FL from Marc's shop Friday night. He replaced the injectors, installed his chip, and fixed a host of other problems with the car. Now running amazing well. I also had Marc do his "Engine Refinishing". All I can do is keep staring at the (even more awesome) motor.

I retired last March I'm planning to finally attend the Gathering and Corvettes at Carlisle. I see Marc has an annual picnic too...I'll have to fish for an invite ;-) Hope to meet you at one of those events!

John

I saw yours when I was there and it's the most Florida color ever for a ZR-1, BEAUTIFUL. I've been trying to move south for a couple years now but we are anchored in here at the moment. Can't wait to attend these events I'm hearing about. I could talk Corvettes forever!

Welcome to the fun!! I too am partial to the 92's, with #501 in the garage. No need for an invite to Haibeck's BBQ, its open. I picked my car up from him during the BBQ, great fun event with lots of gorgeous cars!
