Extra Holes?
Hey Everyone,
This is my first post but I figure I might as well start asking questions! My dad and I have always dreamed of owning a 1970’s corvette and we finally got one! So excited to start to do some restoration on it! I did notice that there seems to be some extra holes where the rear corvette emblem would go. Does anyone have any ideas what the extra holes are for? Please see the image below,

What model year? Slotted holes could be factory for the rear emblem. Bubba left you the five smaller holes.
Do you and your father have the assembly instruction manual (AIM)? You're going to want one. Owner's manual?

It is a 1977 Corvette. The slotted are definetly for the Corvette emblem and might have to go through the parts box and see what is in them. Got 3 boxes with the car when we bought it. Any recomendations on what to do with the "Bubba" holes?

Thanks so much for all the quick responses! I just purchased a Haynes repair manual online (should arrive in the next week or so) and then have been looking at a ton of pictures to try and see if any other corvettes have anything else on the back end with no luck so thought I would try a forum! I am sure I will be posting a ton more as things go!

You are better off with a copy of the factory service manual for your specific year car

In any event, we are restoring one now and took the thing completely apart. If you have any questions, feel free to hit us up. More than happy to help. This is a great place for info on the web, you will be hard pressed not to get an answer here! ...but if you are curious about 1977 specifics, feel free to hit me up.
As for the recommendations given, most definately, get the Assembly Instruction Manual (AIM) for the 1977. It is helpful to see the car in exploded diagrams. The Haynes, while OK, will give more generic info and not be as detailed. There are other resources as well, but the AIM will be the most helpful.
Have fun enjoy it!
