84 CFI from pa

[DaveFromPA]

Me: Whats up guys, my name is Dave and im from levittown pa. about a 30 min ride from philly and a 5 min ride from trenton. im 17 and just recieved an 84 vette 2 weeks ago for an early 18th bday present. I've been looking through the crossfire injection mine non-stop and am extremely excited to restore this beautiful car.

Her: shes an 84 cfi 91k miles, originally the two tone copper color, then painted over white. im stripping her down and making her yellow. she sat for about 4 years and unfortunatley the paint just deteriorated on it. so she needs a paintjob, seat covers, hood cable, and hood holder upper (sorry i cant think of the term), and a master cylinder among other things. From what i read the 84 is the rejected stepchild of all corvettes, but to me its everything. its a giant leap up from a 95 mazda mx-6 4 cyl with 170k miles haha. well anyways i figured im far enough into the project to introduce myself, seeing as im going to need all the help i can get to turn her into a beauty. im deffinately going to keep an update on the project and any advice is greatly appreciated. ;help

thanks guys for all your support! i really appreciate it. i have a quick question though, on the back of the car where its all rubber, whenever i sand it once it goes through the copper into the gel coat, it instantly hits the yellow rubber. is the primer going to stick to this okay? or am i going to have to put something over the rubber spots first?

Welcome to the forum Dave. I think you should ask the paint question on the C4 section. Good Luck
