Hello Everyone,

I am new to this forum, and would like assistance with anything you can including helping me find where to search this thing! I am starting a restoration project on a 1979 corvette.
Known Problems:
1. The car itself does run, but as I learned a few months back it does not brake. I can have the pedal to the floor and do not feel any stopping power. The hand brake also does not work on this car. I bled the brakes according to what i found online, and i do not see any real leaks anywhere, but it does not stop. I was thinking of getting new calipers and stainless steel braided lines from Willwood.
2. The driver side floor pan is rusted out I am getting another one today and I was hoping to rivet it into place all around and weld it in. I have a 90 amp flux core welder, and I can get my beads to look like this guys ( I assume the rivets will hold it, and the weld will just be that much better, but i want to make sure that is a good way to do that.
3. My exhaust is sagging, this should be an easy fix.
4. Driver side headlight is broken, i have a replacement so i will see if i can get that working.
5. When the car is turning I see and feel a thud, thud, thud it feels like it drops a bit with the thud. I assume this is probably the rear differential.

Here are some pictures so far.

 

Why not post in the C3 section?

 

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your '79 to restore!
You'll find great members and helpful insight into your C3 issues in that section of the forum at https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...s-1968-1982-5/. I'd encourage you to read through the stickies at the top of the different areas (General, Tech/Performance, etc) and would suggest the Tech/Performance area will be the best place to post your questions.
Best wishes with your restoration!

 

Sorry guys,

I just joined and I guess I did not see where this was going. Is there a way for me to move this to the c3 section?

 

Thank you for your help I will start there.

 

I will try and move the post, or create a new one under that section. Thank you.
