<\/p>\nWe\u2019re going to be a doing a series of blog posts on new restoration projects, detailing steps to take, project issues, and anything else we can come up with that we feel makes sense.\u00a0 If you already own a Corvette, then this first step will be unnecessary, but we want to focus on it because you may be stepping into ownership of a Corvette for the very first time.\u00a0 The first step, as you might expect, is finding a suitable vehicle for the restoration.\u00a0 If you\u2019re buying a new Corvette, or an already restored Corvette, great, good on you and as we say Happy Cruising.\u00a0 But if you\u2019re not ready to just chunk down the kind of coin needed to buy new or already restored, then finding a Corvette you can work with is the first and most important step.<\/p>\n

If you are an engine gearhead, or a bodyman expert, or neither at all, just looking to start and work on it as long as it takes, you have to know what your strengths (and weaknesses) are and have solutions to address those areas where you might not be 100% effective on your own.\u00a0 It\u2019s ok to need help.\u00a0 Checkout your local area Corvette clubs, there may be some tried and true test cases of either individuals or businesses where work was done that you can see bona fide results from.\u00a0\u00a0 In any event, once you have a good idea of what you are bringing to the table and where you might need assistance, you can begin your search.<\/p>\n
First, pick the generation you want to work with.\u00a0 Whatever your reasons for wanting a Corvette, knowing what generation you want to start with will make the search much more targeted and easier.\u00a0 If you aren\u2019t sure, then trying a wide search for vehicles to just see what\u2019s out there, makes sense.\u00a0 If you are a wizard at bodywork and can\u2019t find a torque wrench to save your life, then you\u2019re going to be looking for a rough looking Corvette with a sound engine.\u00a0 You get the idea.<\/p>\n
