Does anyone have any recomendation for some good books about restoration? I am considering buying a C3 this summer and am in need of some reading material for the hours I am going to be spending in the airport next weekend. Thanks.

There's a number of excellent books on the market. Go to Amazon.com and do a book search under "Corvette" or "Corvette restoration"...you'll be inundated with titles available!

Corvette by the Numbers

It's a good reference, Noland Adams has a pretty thorough reference too.

How to restore & Modify your 1968-1982 Corvette is by Richard Newton, My 71 is on the cover of that book.

Also, the Assembly Manual is a must!

Thank you, it is still a thrill to see it online and in book catalogs even though the book has been out many years!
