hey that's cool!  i'm glad you picked it up.

it definitely gave me some good basic info.

now go get dirty!!

   I'll give you all credit for even thinking about doing something to your car. I've noticed from the posts that the only real issues are not knowing what to do and fear of trying. We didn't climb Mt Everest in one day. Start small. Don't ever be afraid to try something because you don't know about it. We learn and gain experience from making mistakes. My dad always told me that if your not making mistakes and learning from them, you are doing nothing.

I have 24 ASE certifications and have been doing this for 35 years.   And I use manuals.   If you don't read, you won't fix.

I hope it isn't red yet!

yes I do. Have a 1992 that need a few things nothing major. Redid the motors on headlight this winter and have passenger door apart now needs a few little things also redoing the weatherstripping on the unit.  Just purchased a 1975 sitting in the shop at home and going to start on that this spring after the snow melts and it warms up a bit. first thing is the interior, then the motor. there are many courses that you can take on line and if its one particular job i'm sure you could get all the help you need right here on the forum.

Yep, Cindy you are correct.  All the help you need is here on this forum.  Man, I have not been on here much anymore, been to busy redoing my own vette.  Just got her painted 4 months ago.  Best thing to do is just start going after the part that's messed up.  Don't fix it if it isn't broke.  Take pictures as you take it apart, get a cup for nuts and bolts. It's not really that hard, it's just fear of the unknown. Actually it is a great challenge to get over a fear of car repair.  I will not tackle a motor or transmission.  Special tools are need for that and the engine and tranny are too heavy for me to lift anyway!

Haven't been on this part of the forum lately but its nice to have this section.  so plans have changed I got an awesome free standing tool box for xmas and my tools are growing last addition was a torque wrench (my kids think its crazy when getting tools is exciting)  I now have decided that I am going to remove the body off my 75 redo all the suspension and update it and buff and paint the frame to get rid of all the surface rust.  Had a little better look at it last time I was home and see a fuel line is leaking so also gonna buy a flaring tool and a bender and replace all the steel lines.  I can't wait to get started this is gonna take some time I have budgeted on 5 years, good thing I have another one to drive.
