Frame off...
Dropped the car off today to have the frame pulled and straitened... within 3 minutes, he pointed out that the car had obviously been hit before in the front due to patches on the frame...
Now that they have been pointed out, I couldnt miss them again... was thinking how much it would have paid to have a corvette expert to have examined the car before I bought it... but then again, I have enjoyed the car so much, looking back, still would have bought it.

Just thought I would share... hopefully in 3 months, she will be better than new.

Forget about it and enjoy the car. I know I have to.
