You are on a forum where there are a number of great old school mechanics. Me NOT being one of them, LOL! I'm just going to tell you straight up: You are in for some major, major pain if you think your plan of action is to take the hard stuff to a mechanic. I don't know your mechanical expertise and I don't want to or mean to insult. You should consider tackling some of the "hard stuff" yourself with the help of this forum. Many, many great people on here that will be glad to help. Most importantly you will begin to have a working knowledge of your car which is huge with the C3.
Good luck.

first , your answer is excellent, but, some folks have disabilities or other issues that prevent them from enjoying the process of having carnal knowledge with their corvette, my girlfriend calls it 'corvette therapy' , thats why I try to just answer folks questions. Your answer was excellent for 'bout 80% of the members, just wanted to point out that on these 'puter's , we cant 'see' others issues.
to some of you inexperienced members, thats why pictures are an important part of the process, sure we're nosy and want to see what you're doing, but when you have a question and we can see what you're looking at, even if you dont know the right name for it and call it a thingy , you can still get good tech. advice from these members.

Yep, you are right. Didn't even consider someone with disabilities and that was poor judgement on my part. Thanks for the constructive criticism and insight.
