New Owner
I recently purchased a '79 corvette but I have almost no previous car experience. I am at school in the Raleigh area. I have attempted to take my car to a few shops around here for minor work, but very few people will actually work on it because it has been modified. If anyone knows of a reliable shop around here, I would greatly appreciate any suggestions. Also, I am having trouble getting it to pass inspection. Would anyone happen to know of a place that might be able to cut me some slack? I have taken off the hooker headers and side pipes that came with the car and put on the original exhaust along with replacing the previous 650 Holley double pumper yet I still have a few things the state requires me to have. I may have to go as far as replacing the intake manifold. All of this is to say, if anyone has a suggestion of a place to go or something that would help me on my way to passing inspection, I would appreciate it. Also, would anyone be interested in buying a set of hooker headers and side pipes? I'll be taking offers for the next few weeks and I'm willing to drive to meet you halfway to pick them up. I also have the original '79 stereo w/ an 8 track for any of you nostalgic folks.
