[QUOTE="Riley P, post: 7822, member: 2"] A few things to look at before getting an inspection would be to look at the frame in front of the rear wheels as this area is prone to rusting. Another area of concern for rust is the front cross member which could cause issues with the lower control arms. Look for alignment of the framework between the door and windshield pillar and check if the carpet in the foot wells is wet or shows sign of having been wet (discolouration). In general, also feel around the lip of the inner fenders to see if they have been repaired or not. Look for different tints or colors of paint where body panels meet or adjustment, with the fenders/innerfenders/firewall to see if it has been in an accident and repainted. Check out the gaps in the body to see if they are even. If all that looks good, have an inspection done as suggested above and good luck with finding a Vette! [/QUOTE]
