Default Best Assembly Manual

As a Christmas present to myself I am going to get an Assembly Manual for my ‘63 . Who has the best quality both in print and construction?

When I was looking for an assembly manual for our '62, people pointed me towards ordering from NCRS.

So I ordered through them, and the manual is very good! Print is good, legibility is good, and it looks to be all there.

Hopefully the assembly manuals for C2's will be equally as good!

They're all just copies of copies of copies of copies, but some had a better source copy to start with than the others. Just be glad we have them - the Ford and Mopar guys have nothing, and would kill for them.

If you have printed copy you can easily scan the pages into a pdf file, which is great because you can then print individual pages to take into the garage and not worry if they get oily or trashed. You can also enlarge parts of pages. You can also have it handy on a tablet. Or, as some people do, you can buy a pdf copy from one of the vendors.....
