I called my father to wish him a happy Father's Day, and he punished me by giving me a '79 Corvette that he bought in 1980. It's not a bad car, but it needs some attention. I need to rebuild the front end first, cuz it's making some very dangerous-sounding clunking noise.
I have all the Eckler's/Mid America catalogs, but I'm looking for a local fix. Should i get the parts from GM, or go with the catalog guys, or. . . ?
How much of the front end rebuild can be handled by a mere mortal? Should I pony up and sub the work out to a qualified shop?
Excuse my ignorance. This is the first time I've ever owned any Detroit iron. (Beyond trucks, that is.)
