Congratulations on your '75 vert. It'll be a nice car when you're done. All convertibles are nice, regardless of the year. Sounds more like a cruiser than a drag car though. I say "fix it up and cruise" during all that free time you spoke of.

One shark to restore them all
Sorry. I read the thread title and all I could think was:
One shark to restore them all
One shark to find them
One shark to bring them all
And on the race track, bind them
Don't ask. It's been one of those weeks.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

Alex welcome to the Corvette Madness lol.
I would like to say you can read magazines and books of all kinds but you will find the best information here on the forum as it is not only up to date but also new things are tried and done all of the time that will not only make your life easier but also to help you enjoy your Corvette as much as you can. And there are companies here on the forum that give feed back and helpful advice such as DeWitts,VBP,Van Steel, ClassicChevy5Speed and many others.
With that said I would highly recommend that you purchase the A.I.M. Book or Assembly Instruction Manual that you will find that many of the forum sponsors that you will see on the left of the screen carry if you can not find them locally to you.
Again Congratulations on your purchase.

Welcome. My suggestion is just look at the forums here and do a search for what you have questions on, and ask questions for what you can't find answers to. Although you are half a world away from most of us, the answer to almost any problem you could have is as close as your computer.
