Default new member introduction

My brother and I are restoring a 70 Corvette convertible. We started two years ago but a motorcycle accident (me) and a death in the family put the project on hold. Finally found some time to start back on the reassembly. Unfortunately I have forgotten where parts go and the labels on some of the packages have become unreadable. I am using the assembly manual ,pictures from different catalogs, and auto repair manuals.
Hoping some of you can help answer questions I may have.
