well IM living proof that theres nothing on a corvette built on or before 1996 that the average mechanically inclined /serious hobbyist or similarly skilled corvette owner can,t tackle.
it takes time, money and RESEARCH, but theres not a darn thing you can,t repair or replace on the car given that single car garage, a few basic mechanics tools and at least the basic heavy duty jack stands, floor jack, and possibly engine hoist.if you've got a ton of cash have a shop do the work,but basic component and body panel repair and replacement is something YOU COULD LEARN TO DO
if you don,t know how to do something ASK LOTS OF QUESTIONS and BUY several books on the subject, ACTUALLY READ THEM, and do the NECESSARY research on the web, and then JOIN AT LEAST ONE LOCAL CORVETTE/HOTRODDERS CLUB
this section on this site is DESIGNED for those questions
but the very first step is BUY THE FACTORY SHOP MANUAL
the only exception ID suggest is PAINTING the car, if your NOT prepared to get into the project fairly extensively simply because painting requires some EXPERIENCE, and someplace larger than a single car garage to get it correct, your very unlikely to get an excellent result on the first try, but its certainly not something you CAN,T DO!
