are there any easy corvette projects?
My car is killing me :boxing I spent three hours on the door locks this week , finally finished it this morning. I just wanted to put the door panel on and see how good it's going to look with a panel finally covering that door :rant: looks like thats going to be another day long project. All I really want to do is drive :steering:
Thanks for the rant , I feel better :)

How about this, some are easier than others. They all consume large amounts of time. It will be worth it in the end.
All I want to do is drive the mine too. Seems like I work on it an aweful lot sometimes. But in one trip yesterday, I got one thumbs up setting at a stop sign, and "Mommy, look at that fast car". That all came even with the red hood. LOL.

How about checking the air in the tires and the oil level? Those aren't bad. Seriously, there are some easy projects, they just tend to lead you to a slippery-slope that once you upgrade/clean something, whatever is next to it is no longer good enough and on and on it goes.

Yes, it only takes one "thumbs up" or "nice ride" to make it all worth wild,
not to mention the satisfaction knowing you worked to make it this good and
it is yours.

Here is one for $50 the add said would take less than 5 minutes:
BTW, I ended up taking the hood off, but was able to get it back on straight in about an hour. The chrome actuator covers are a big improvement.
Give it a try! :)

Just keep telling yourself that working on it is 90% of the fun since you only get to drive it 10% of the time and that is if you're lucky! :banghead:
