Corvette Restoration - Find Just The Right Corvette For You

One of the most common mistakes I see when people buy their first corvette is is quite simply excitement, where they just get excited and hand over the cash before they inspect the car, this is one way to cause yourself more misery then you want to deal with.

In this case you can end up with a lot of horrible things happening with your very first corvette restoration, it's always better to try and find a corvette that is in very good condition to start with, if this is to be your first classic corvette, and your first corvette restoration.

You should make 100% sure that you check all of the critical areas of you first corvette purchase before you buy it, I know that this can be a hard thing to do, because you have just rolled up on what looks to be a perfect car to your eye ball, but their might be nasty things lurking in the shadows.

Corvette's are a special breed because they are made from fibre glass that is warped around metal in a lot of the areas on the corvette, and where it has firer glass warped around metal, it can rust, and you'll never see it because the fibre glass will hide it.

You need to look at these areas, if your looking at a 1968 - 76 convertible corvette you'd be best off to inspect the wind shield frame, this is one of the areas that can rust, and the fiber glass will start to lift in the areas where the rust develops underneath it.

You'd also do yourself a huge favour to put the car on a lift and inspect the frame of the corvette for rust holes, and frame damage, the more of the these types of things that you find at the first, the less surprises you'll have when you begin the renovation, or custom work on your corvette.

I'm not trying to change your mind about buying a corvette, I would love to help you find just the right one, I have been guilty of being to excited when buying a car myself, and it never does anything good, the time to be excited is when you find just the perfect car, the one that you can restore yourself.

Like any other car, you should always inspect the body gaps on the corvette that your looking at, no gap should be wider then 1/8 inch, or narrower then an 1/8 inch gap, if they are, you need to start asking question like has this car been wrecked in the past.

Also look for stress cracks, and rust coming through the stress cracks in the body, a stress crack will look like a mini spider web in the car's body, also inspect around the gas cap opening for rust, and take a good look at the interior of the corvette, these are always good indicators of the condition of the car.

You should get in the car, and push the clutch to the floor, and run through the gears in the car, looking for the shifter to get stuck in one gear, or to be very hard to move, these are both signs that the corvette needs a new shifter linkage, not a huge deal, but it is more work.

It's an absolute must that you check the engine for leaks, check under the car around the oil pan while it's up in the air, you should also check the brake lines for cracking and leaking whit it's on the rack, look at the brakes on all four corners to see if the rotors are leaking brake fluid.

Then let the car down and check for leaks around the valve covers, and the intake manifold, if your restoring the car, and then planning to sell it later, you'd better check all of the numbers on the car, to be sure that the engine, and transmission, and the rest on the car, belong to that car.

These things can be very hard to find, of course the condition of the car depends a lot on what you want to spend to buy it, if you buy a $15,000 corvette, you will be doing a lot of work to restore it, if you spend more, you'll get a better car, and it will need less work to restore it.

Have you ever heard the saying, you get what you pay for, that is the gods honest truth here, so plan your budget very well, just bu doing this you can save yourself a lot of agony in the end, save your money so you can start with a corvette that is in god condition.

If you start with a corvette that is in good condition, you'll get it restored a lot faster, and be driving it, and enjoying it, and is really what we all look forward to in the end, I'm still waiting to locate the right corvette for me, if it takes a long time, don't worry about it.

The longer it take to find it, the better corvette you'll find in the end, below here I will add a check list of the things you need to look at before you hand that cash over, and buy your new classic corvette.

Corvette Buyers Check List:

Check The Numbers:

Do they look untampered with?

Do they match?

Look at the:

Body ID:

Engine ID:

Trim Tag:

Check The Body Work:

Nose alignment.

Body Surface:

This isn't everything, but it should help you locate a good corvette to start with, I did omit a few things here, but i will be sure to add them in a later article, in the mean while, if you need help with a corvette, just comment on this article.

Restore 108 Caps Fahrenheit Nutrition $49.95 LIVER RESTORE Athletes, by their very nature lead busy, often hectic lives. Clinical studies have shown that stress and anxiety, the chief manifestations of the type-A lifestyle, significantly decrease the flow of blood through the liver, taxing and often overloading the liver’s ability to detoxify. The result is inadequate blood purification, causing waste to build up in the blood stream and progressively worsening a person’s health. INTRODUCING RESTORE The Chemists at Fahrenheit Nutrition have combined the most effective supplements known in this industry for healthy liver function, liver protection, and liver restoration in the presence of high-stress situations. THE STRAIGHT FACTS Constant, on-the-go lifestyles can cause toxic levels of metabolites to build-up in the liver, causing irreversible and even fatal liver damage. The active ingredients in RESTORE have been engineered to increase the liver's production of ursodeoxycholic acid (essential bile acids), intended to rid the body of these dangerous metabolites. Alpha Lipoic Acid has been infused to serve as a potent antioxidant to promote proliferation of healthy liver cells; combined with N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC), a precursor to glutathione, to provide the liver with the most effective primary free-radical scavengers for maximum liver protection. Healthy liver function is crucial to good health and absolutely necessary for any athlete hoping to make gains in the gym, on the field, or in everyday life. The benefits of a healthy liver include : more energy, improved digestion, faster metabolism, more acute cognitive function, increased libido, and a more vibrant and healthy appearance. Taken properly, RESTORE is an effective tool in helping to keep your liver clean and healthy and your body lean and full of energy.*

Colloidal Minerals and Trace Elements: How to Restore the Body's Natural Vitality $16.23 How to effectively use colloidal mineral and trace element supplements to compensate for the deficiencies in our diet that cause ill health- Includes a complete list of all trace elements and their ideal combinations for addressing health imbalances- Examines why our food is no longer nutritious enough to supply the body's mineral and trace element needs and how to address this problemMuch of the ill health and lack of vitality people complain of today can be traced to a deficiency of minerals and trace elements in our diets. The food we eat is no longer keeping us healthy. Modern farming methods have depleted the natural mineral reserves of the soil, and as a result the foods we eat are increasingly deficient in the nutrients needed for proper functioning of the body.Minerals are essential catalysts that allow vitamins, enzymes, and other nutrients to perform their necessary roles in the body and promote proper mental function. Simply taking standard mineral supplements will not correct any imbalances we may experience because our bodies are designed to best absorb and use minerals that are in a colloidal form: the soluble suspended state in which plants absorb minerals from the soil. Colloidal mineral supplements, however, can increase vitality and strengthen the immune system because 98 percent of the supplement is incorporated into the body as opposed to the 3-5 percent absorption of standard mineral supplements. Colloidal Minerals and Trace Elements details 55 trace elements and their beneficial effects and explains the ideal combinations of colloid supplements to use based on your health concerns.
