Default Another Newbie

Hey everyone,

Wanted to take a minute to introdue myself. My name is Keith and yeah, I'm another newbie to this forum (though i've visited here time to time). I've got a 1973 corvette that I'm SLOWLY resto modding. Been on the corvette forum for about 3 years. In the process of deciding what to do for motivation I think I'm going to build an LQ4 thumper. Like I said, this project is slow in it's progress since right now I only work very part time and am a stay at home dad and of course $$ are tight. Enough of that stuff.

Currenly living in Springfield, OH which is between Dayton and Columbus.
Mid 30's and a gearhead most of my life. This is my first real project though.

Married, one kid (girl 17 months) and another on the way in Jan. '08

I don't know a whole lot about LSx tech so, I'll be learning a lot.

Working on finishing my auto tech degree (part time) and hopefully turning this hobby into a career.

Thanks for reading and thanks ahead of time for sharing the wisdom and knowledge.
