Default Exploded door view and parts list

I am researching for the next project.

I would like to rebuild the doors (internals and pannels). Does anyone have an exploded view of these? Any ideals about which manual has the best diagrams?

Thanks always!

Get the AIM (Assembly Instruction Manual) for your year model. Its what they used at the factory to assemble your car. All of the major Corvette vendors carry them.

I don't have a pic of the exploded view but this pic with the inner skin removed was posted on the forum recently.
I cant remember who posted it but it's a good pic to have.
Hope it helps.

As already stated the Assembly Instruction Manual (A.I.M.) is a great resource.

I believe what you are looking for is the General Motors Corporation book:

"1953 thru 1982 Corvette Parts and Illustration Catalog"

You can find the original paper books at Corvette swap meets and shows - or on eBay.

The Catalog used to be available on line as 6 PDF files, but I can't find a link to it anymore.

Perhaps someone will post a link.

I got a page copied out of a book from the chevy dealership. Everything was exploded and it showed where the parts went also, all it was lacking was proper part numbers. The individual parts are numbered 1-93.

Give 'em a call, if they don't want to fork it over. PM me and I will figure out a way to get it to you.
