Here are the pictures from the newest restoration that I'm doing for a friend. It's an '84, which he apparently pulled out of the Atlantic Ocean. It's full of rust. I'll keep you posted on the progress, if there is any! http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v609/copjeep/

 Thanks, and you're right. Look at the link again, there's a video now.....this one runs good. This is the second Corvette restoration I've done for a friend. I can't restore mine again, so I do it for others if they pay for the parts. What fun it is to bust my knuckles.....Ouchdoh

Update: the '84 went to the the body shop today. The original plan was strip/smooth/color change to 81U Bright Red with 4 coats clear. Original shop estimate was (unofficially) conservative at $3-4k. Shop manager saw it; said it's been wrecked multiple times and poorly repaired. Now the estimate is double. The car owner is sleeping on it. If he decides to sell, does anyone want to buy a running '84 and the parts to put it back together?????
