1979 L-82 Corvette rebuild

I decided to blog my progress on this project. The Corvette is a 1979 L-82 4 speed that was neglected and slowly rotting away. My ultimate goal is to sell the Corvette after the rebuild process is completed. I decided to keep the stock engine stock and put it aside for now, and instead I have went with a very nice and very driveable 383 built by Britco Racing.

Aside from the engine and exhaust, everything else will be restored to original equipment specifications. Using new parts from Corvette America and Mid America. The goal is to have a nice driveable hot-rod to enjoy and when that time comes fot the later C3's, the next owner can drop in the O.E. L-82 3 50 in her and enjoy the value of a matched numbered fully restored C3 Corvette.
