I bought my assembly instruction manual (AIM) from Corvette Central online. Willcox Corvette has some good tech info on their website as well.
Good Luck!

Welcome to the wonderful world of C3 Corvette ownership! To get started, I suggest you take a look at this list of books to consider buying for reference. An assembly manual is practically mandatory if you're going to do any of the work yourself, but others like the Service Manuals are very useful as well.

As has been said, Willcox Corvette has a great inventory of technical pictures and videos to help you with your project, as does CorvetteMagazine.com.

Lastly, and quite obviously, the members of this forum are a wealth of information, advice and ideas to help you along. Whatever questions you have, or help you need, chances are at least 3 other people here have already been there. So, never be afraid to ask questions.

Again, welcome to the chaos.
