C3 Restoration Resources...
What in your opinion are the Must-have references for frame-up restoration on a C3 ('68 coupe)? I have seen a few manuals floating around, but was wondering if some are more through/better-illustrated than others? Also, are there any video series available? Thanks.

All are available from the NCRS on-line store at www.ncrs.org.
You'll find others, but those above are the minimum foundation for your restoration technical library and will provide most of what you need.
If you're an NCRS member, the NCRS Technical Discussion Board is a terrific resource for all manner of technical and restoration questions, and your local NCRS chapter has lots of members that have "been there, done that", and can be VERY helpful with your project. If you're not an NCRS member, join - you can do that on-line too, at www.ncrs.org.

JohnZ is steering you right.
You might find Birthplace of Legends, by Peter LiCastro to be of interest. It's always interesting to me (and often helpful) to know how the cars were assembled.
