Ever come across a deal that seems TOO good to be true? That's exactly what happened on this '13 C6 Corvette... Nearly 500hp, 23k miles & a 'light' wreck? Easy money! Right?
Of course not... When I went to pick up this Vette it was suffering from a mysterious electrical issue, in fact the cammed LS3 wouldn't stay running for more than 10 seconds at a time...
If we can resolve the issue on this iconic Corvette cheaply, we're going to profit BIG TIME... If things go badly, we're going to be in a world of trouble..
Have a salvage Corvette rebuild story of your own? Maybe you're building you're flipping a Z06 or ZR1 and putting me to shame? Put it in the comments!

Make sure that whatever brand of fibreglass resin you use is SMC compatible. The fibreglass that C4 and up cars are made from uses an internal mold release agent that will make repairs prone to coming off due to the release agent. Resin on broken and cracked fibreglass fixes nothing. It’s still broken. The only repair is to reinforce the broken section with resin, cloth or mat. Without the cloth or mat it has zero strength.

My first thought was the start switch. What tipped me off was you saying it was clicking on and off sitting there and could read it was in accessory mode for a moment. Really oddball issue but luckily an easy one

@ScrapLife Garage He's not wrong. Most channels blow up RU-vid algorithms after about 200k subscribers. Most accidently come upon the channels like me. Throttle house, Hagerty, and many others started as pet projects for fun and grew with in a year. Great content that you keep growing on will pay off for you guys. Great crew by the way, showing them and their/your process is a tool I feel you should build into 👏

@dragonladyz290
@dragonladyz290 Год назад
I thought I was the only one who used subtitles. I love when it thinks it's "Applause". Or sometimes it will just say "Foreign" about a sound it doesn't recognize. Luckily I'm only about 60% deaf, so I know what it really is... Otherwise, Listening to an engine throw a rod and then lock up might be a bit confusing when it's labeled "music" or "applause". Sort of sends the wrong message, right?
