I tried an experiment of clearcoat powdercoating my latches locks, hinges etc. However, this did not come out as expected because it rusts underneath the clearcoat. Another hard lesson of restoration. Does anyone know of anyone that can restore the original zinc coatings on these parts for a...

I have a 1961 Corvette that is entering the final stages of its restoration. I have all the original gauges, but they have seen better days...also there is question as to whether they work since it hasn't been driven in 20 years. My question is what company or individual is recommended to...

After a couple years of waiting, my 1961 Corvette is almost finished at the painters. While we go through yet another long process of finishing the restoration, the thought of having the seats reconditioned so we can sit in it sounds like a good idea. My seats need a complete rebuild with new...

1600 dollars sounds extremely high for a rebuild. I had mine done by a local guy who also rebuilds transmissions for Jasper. We bought the rebuild kit from corvette central, which was 170 dollars. There is some kind of kit (I'm sure that someone else would know about) that goes in these...

Has anyone had their steering wheel restored on a C1 Corvette (I own a 1961 Corvette w/a red interior)? I have one that is not in bad shape except for the usual cracks here and there and am trying to decide whether or not to get it done. If you had it done, can you tell me a little bit about...
