T he Corvette is in a league of its own. As the all-American V- 8 sports car, no other high-perfor- mance American car can match it for enthusiast interest, collectabili- ty, and in many cases, perform- ance. GM has cranked out model after memorable model continu- ously from 1953 to present, with the only exception being 1983. During this time, the Corvette earned a fanatical following and iconic status. Over the course of a 14-year production run of the third generation, more than a half-million Corvettes were built. Many Corvettes have been driven aggressively during their lifetime while others have not been properly stored nor main- tained. Whether it’s hard use, neg- lect or just elapsed time, often these 30-year-old or older cars require a major restoration and not just simple repair. Through the pages of this book, you are expert- ly guided through each crucial stage of the restoration process from disassembly to inspection and parts selection to assembly. The hands-on restoration tech- niques for all major component groups are explained in exception- al detail for professional results, including suspension, engine, interior, body, paint, brakes, steer- ing, electrical, and interior. Special coverage is devoted to restoring the birdcage frame and the fiber- glass body. These restoration pro- cedures are explained with exten- sive step-by-step captions and bril- liant full-color photos so you confi- dently complete each step and ultimately the restoration of an entire car. In addition, the author addresses the real-world benefits
