[QUOTE="ddgermann, post: 138817, member: 3537"] I’m not a C3 guy but you are 100% right. It’s the birdcage corrosion that goes along with this level of visibile damage that is incredibly difficult to repair. There are some very detailed threads here on this in the C3 section and likely other places that have good information and photos. Here is a real good one from Taylor’s restoration. This will give you the whole process. [URL="https://canadiancorvetteforums.com/threads/and-it-begins-body-off.3194/page-13"]And it begins....Body off[/URL] Basically if you don’t want to work on it extensively walk away. I think you can still find some good cars in that C3 vintage but you will have to be patient and look at plenty of them if in Canada. Many guys buy them out of the southern US and have a much better chance of finding a car with minimal corrosion. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress or post up some candidates. A picture usually wakes this crowd up quickly. A good thing to do is post an introduction in the new members section. This will get you more exposure to the C3 gurus here. These guys are always helpful for new members as they are happy to have another fellow C3 pilot. 😁 Derek. [/QUOTE]
