https://community.aarp.org/t5/Introduce-Yourself/Hello-from-SoCal/m-p/2619059#M11745 <P>Hello all,</P><P>I’m Bill, 68, lately retired from a life in mechanical engineering and settled in Southern California. Most days you’ll find me tinkering with a black 1965 Corvette Stingray that still sports its original 327, although the carburetor wheezes almost as loudly as I did before I beat colon cancer a few years back. I juggle the car project with visits from three grown kids and four lively grandkids, so progress comes in short spurts. My goal is a reliable Sunday cruiser, not a museum queen. If you have any patient advice on mid-year Corvette wiring or those fickle vacuum headlights, I would sure appreciate it.</P><P>Looking forward to the conversation.</P><P>Bill</P> Wed, 16 Jul 2025 04:38:23 GMT BillR860028 2025-07-16T04:38:23Z https://community.aarp.org/t5/Introduce-Yourself/Hello-from-SoCal/m-p/2619059#M11745 <P>Hello all,</P><P>I’m Bill, 68, lately retired from a life in mechanical engineering and settled in Southern California.
