Corvette Restoration. Can it be saved?

This 454 Corvette Stingray has been off the road for over a decade. We bring it inside the workshop, have a good look at it an get on stripping it down so we can restore it.
The plan is to get it ready for the road again and do a mild resto-mod to upgrade it and make it reliable for a daily driver.

Loved the C3's...especially with the Rat motor in it. A set of headers and a couple of Cherry Bombs and it will sound glorious ❤

[@ChromeandCarRestoration]

It sounds awesome already. We have some very practicle upgrades happening that will make it great.

I think projects like these are special... You don't have to do 1000's of hours to get a great outcome. This is going to be amazing.

[@ChromeandCarRestoration]

Very true!

Thanks for a great video. It will be a nice car once you are finished!

[@ChromeandCarRestoration]

That's the plan!

I seem to remember that the 67 Corvette Stingray was voted ‘The Most Sinister Looking Car Ever Built’.

[@ChromeandCarRestoration]

Would love a C2 but the cost!

Great project. I've been using the Rustbuster products for years, especially the epoxy mastic, you can't buy better in my opinion. I originally put my faith in POR15 and it is rubbish.

Great tip!
