Welcome aboard Tom! I've been wanting a Vette since a friend in high school got a new 57 (and then a new one every other year afterwards. Everytime I got close the price when up or greater priorities came up. Guess it's the same for people who would like to own a street rod or kustom. Of late I've been lucky to own one of each, but still no vette. Guess it helps that my wife doesn't like vette's, that way I don't tend to whine out loud anymore.

Which ever way you decide to go... rod or custom... you'll get a lot of help, inspiration and suggestions here. Again, welcome aboard!
