1962 Corvette 2 YEAR Restoration & Reality. Costs & Time Realization.
A WILD RIDE! Frame on RESTORATION. I was so fortunate to be welcomed to record and lend a hand once in a while on this 1962 Vette. Had to share the fun with you!
Ben and Bryan are two wonderful guys with a passion for Corvettes. Got to be to restore and old Corvette.While Bryan (Yellow Jacket Garage) and I have several older videos about the restoration, this is the main summary to this point in time.
Reality Check Topics:
What you will NOT see in this video is the HUGE amount of PAIN from fixing so many terrible "fixes" from prior "mechanics" [hacks!]. Costs are crazy because you buy stuff, then buy stuff to redo the previous stuff that may not have worked, etc... Furthermore, scheduling with personal life events can prolong a job. Most of all, new parts on an OLD car just don't always install and work as advertised! Seriously. That includes fixing one part, yet finding another related part is bad. For example, while Bryan did work on the rear brakes he found that the rear axles were bent!!!
