...of Vette body panels. Before the days of the wonderful NCRS publications and other sources, it was great to have a friend in a Chevy parts department.

Most members on these forums are probably familiar with these panel breakdowns.

Did you get the companion book that was even bigger and better...?

Way back when, a good buddy was the parts manager of a local Chev dealership, and used to supply me with those books at the end of each year when the new ones came out. I saved 2 or 3 but threw the rest away....DAH! Sorry guys!

The only other early GM Corvette parts book I kept all these years is an '82 edition but I do have a number of Mitchell Collision guides from the 60's and early 70's. They were great for replacement labor times and parts on all makes and models including the Vettes.

Great avatar Kerrmudgeon!
