Fiberglass attachment above headlights
Can anyone recommend a glue they used that worked well to reattach the fiberglass to the frame above the headlights (it’s common that they detach on older corvettes I’ve heard) -
Ball joints
When I say snapped off I meant it fell right off like it’s supposed to, I’m just worried about getting it back on the spindle because I’m turning the nut with a lot of force -

New owner of project car c3 1979
Exhaust is all rusted and has holes so I’m going to end up replacing it anyway, drained and replaced the fuel I’ll probably drop the tank when I’m ready to replace the whole exhaust line until then it’s idling really high so I’m going to have to get the engine timing down, but hey progress is...
