Default Restoration Information Question

I have finally graduated from school and moving to a place that has a good size shop and want to start a frame off restoration myself and simply out source the harder functions such as engine work etc.

I was looking in the back of the C3 Eckler's and saw a bunch of restoration guides. I want to know what book is the best to guide me through this and that has the proper information for the correct treatments. Also what is the best parts source for factory replacements. Are there any websites. Basically any information that would help is appreciated or if you think I shouldn't attempt this let me know. BTW the car is a 69 427BB 4sp

Thanks,

Yep, you would probably have better luck getting answers to your questions in the C3 section of the Forum: C3 Corvettes

Good luck!
