I joined the forum a year and a half ago because I was going to fix my corvette, but I have yet to start on it. It is a 74 convertible that I bought in 1999 to drive as a second car and the brakes lines rusted thru and i stopped driving it.The frame has scaley rust and both bumpers are junk from setting in the garage. i am hoping to get it together for the Hot Rod Power Tour but the funds are short.

Good luck! The best thing to do is jump in and get after it. Look forward to seeing it when you get it rolling again.

Nice '74. Keep us posted on the progress.

Very nice car to start with.

You've got bad brake lines....and you have a lift...but you haven't been able to work on it for 11 years?

I know....it doesn't make me look to smart does it.....I have not driven my 73 in 2 years and now the front bumper has started to crack and fall apart.

I had the same problem on the bumper cover on my '73. When I picked up the car in Washington D.C. it was there (but had some cracks). When I got home, it was gone.

Best thing to do is just dig in and get started. Do one job at a time. I think I would start with the brakes and anything else that is needed to get the cars driveable. Then you can still take them out for a ride once in a while as you work on them.

Where are you located? Maybe a forum member would be willing to stop over and give you a hand.
