Default Help needed

I recently bought a 1975 Corvette that's in pretty rough shape and needs a lot of tough loving care. The only problem is I don't know too much about cars. I'd really love to learn but I don't really feel like I should be experimenting on the Corvette.
I asking for anyone in Oahu that'd like to help.
Just message me and we can work something out.
Mahalo.

First of all what is your mechanical level? Do you have any hand tools and an air compressor? Or are you wanting to find someone to do the work for you?

I'm looking to find someone to do it with me.
I'm not very mechanically inclined but I pick up quickly.

I would have to recommend an assembly,haines and chiltons manuals, they have saved me a couple of time. Also I belong to a couple of forums with very knowledgeable members who are always willing to give me advise and "lend a helping hand". This has gotten me through some of the situations I find myself in. Then of course I use a reputable shop for stuff I just can't do like transmission work. Another option might be to check into some local car clubs in your area.
