[QUOTE="Rruuff Day, post: 162165, member: 2217"] Welcome to the forum John. Yes.Your car needs some TLC for sure but we watch members re-build cars from the asphalt up here quite often. Vette93 is correct that you should do an inventory on what your car needs for parts and pieces and the costs. Have a real good look at it structurally and mechanically as well. Look and ask around Virginia and neighbouring states for used Vette parts. You're in a great area for searching out Corvette wrecker yards etc. You'll be surprised what you can find. It sounds like you are capable of doing a lot of the work yourself which will certainly help in the cost department. Outside labour costs are a killer. If you're building the car to sell or trade, yes, you need to look at what the end value will be also. But if you're looking to build this car for yourself, to drive it and be proud of your restoration, that's worth extra for sure. You might want to do a little intro in the New Users section of the forum as well. You'll get lots of welcomes and likely some more ideas and opinions. :happy: [/QUOTE]
