Got my 72 AIM today

I can't believe I have waited this long to get the AIM for my car! I always heard guys recommend it but never got one. I recently started an interior restoration and decided to get it. Holy crap what a wealth of information is in that book!! Really, if anyone is on the fence about getting one, do it! You can't go wrong. It tells you everything you could want to know! One thing I do wish is that it told you bolt and screw sizes, but then the book would be 10,000 pages.

FYI Paragon sells a poster that list the bolt type and size, with pics.
Actually only useful if shooting for a NCRS-class resto.

Hi RH13,
MotorBooks has a book called CORVETTE PARTS BOOK 1953-1972.
It lists a lot of fastener dimensions, but not all.
Here's an example.
Regards,
Alan

Most fastener sizes are shown in the 1953-82 Corvette Parts and Illustration Catalog. Pricey, but worth the cost of a copy.
