For 2 years, I've agonized over whether to restore my 86 vert or let her go and get a C5. I have a new engine with about 3,000 miles on it and mechanically, it runs great. And I don't want the car payment. So I've finally decided to paint, replace the top, and re-do the interior. Problem is, I'm not a mechanic and I don't know the first thing about restoration. Was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction. I think the right order would be to paint first, then do the top, then the interior. The best quote I've gotten to repaint is $3,500 to $4,000 which I think is a good deal. If anyone has any good restoration sources, I would surely appreciate any advice or contacts. I've pretty much decided to get all my interior parts from Corvette America. They seem to have the best deal on seats, carpet sets and weatherstripping which I really need. Thanks for any advice.
