    Advice for someone new to Corvettes

    Hi, There seems to be so much information available, and I need it all. I was wondering if any member could suggest how/where I should start in my C2 learning process. I hope to spend the next year or so learning all I can before I make a purchase. I want a BB and I am terrified about buying a fake. Of course, I would have it professionally inspected first, but I really want to learn about them. Originality is very important to me and also restoration steps/processes, how to spend money wisely, etc. are all very important. I have joined my local NCRS chapter. Can anyone recommend some basic books, videos or just advice to me? Sorry for such a basic letter, I respect the NHRS community and hope to learn from you guys.

    Thanks

    by Nolan Adams, along with an Assembly Instruction Manual for your year of interest, and an NCRS Judging Guide. Visit the NCRS store for other pertinent books and videos too.

    Good luck, and enjoy!

      Frank,

      Our Chapter meet is the first weekend in June. Sign up for it, and go as an Observer Judge.
      You'll learn a LOT about the process and the cars.

      I also heard that the guy giving the talk on Friday night is pretty good.
