Frame-off restoration, don't know yet if it is an L82 or not, yet. Thanks, Everett

View Full Version : 1979 Corvette - What to look for? Everett#2390 Feb 3rd, 07, 09:40 AM Frame-off restoration, don't know yet if it is an L82 or not, yet. Thanks, Everett JohnZ Feb 4th, 07, 07:02 PM Everett - #1 issue is rust in the windshield pillars (behind the garnish moldings), #2 issue is rust in the body hinge pillars (behind the kickpads), #3 issue is rust in the frame (where the kickups join the rear end of the main side rails, where the pocket is for the front of the rear trailing arms), #4 issue is rusty fuel tank or a tank where the internal bladder has collapsed, limiting fuel capacity (nobody reproduces the '78-'82 "bladder" tanks, and good used ones go for $800-$1,000 if you can find one). If you post the question in the C3 forum at www.corvetteforum.com they'll give you more detail. :thumbsup: Everett#2390 Feb 5th, 07, 05:00 AM Thanks, JohnZ for the info. I'll look for these items. |
