Hello all,
Ive used this forum before for my other vehicles and what a great resource it is! Thanks for the help.
Just bought my first corvette, a 79, and its in pretty rough shape mechanically and cosmetically. I can handle probably all the mechanical, but the cosmetic has me scratching my chin. Looks like someone caught the right front on something and broke the fender directly in front of the wheel all the way to the orange marker light.
Can anyone recommend a good tech guide for body repair? Is this something I can tackle in the 2 car garage? Any idea what it would cost if I just took it to someone? I saw one repair where they repaired a minor front crunch with cutting the fender in the middle then cutting between the headlights and splicing in the new piece. Why would they do that?
thanks again for all the help.
