Hi group,

I am going to restore my 75 vette but can somebody tell me what books could be a help for me ?
Because there are so many books out there, but what is the best and clearest detailed on how to take apart/put together everything.

Any help is welcome,
Thanks... :steering:

Books are always good but they can never replace this forum. I suggest you just do searches here for the topics you are interested in. Other than that I would suggest any book that teaches the basics of Chevy small blocks. (doesn't have to be vette specific)

Two great "must have" books are the Chevrolet service manual and a assembly manual for your year car. Both available from vendors.

I lucked into this (as many others have, I'm sure) and will pass it on to you and others who read this thread. This isn't my article, I cut and pasted from www.corvettefaq.com/C3/restoration.html I got all of it in about 3 weeks and it is good (and free) reference and reading material.

Free Restoration Package
from corvetteforum.com member 45ACP
"Restoration Package for your Corvette from GM/Chevrolet! Call the Chevrolet Customer Assistance hotline at (800) 222-1020 or 810-696-4800. You will need to supply the VIN of the car. If your Vette was originally registered in Canada, you will have to call GM of Canada at (800) 263-3777. GM-Canda wants $40.00 plus tax for the restoration package, so try the US number first. I got mine last year. The stuff I got consists of good quality photocopies of service/maint. info, an order form for the Corvette Black Book, a dealer order guide, MVMA Specifications form, another rather extensive specifications reference published by GM and a 1/4" thick listing of official GM Restoration Parts suppliers. All told, about 100 double-sided pages. The young lady I spoke with last year didn't quite know what I was talking about when I requested the Restoration Package, but after a few seconds of keyboard clicking sounds she found it and walked me down through a list of questions (name, address, VIN, etc). She told me 6-8 weeks to deliver, but I remember it only being a week or so. Yes, it is free. Free phone call, free restoration package, they even covered the postage.
All you have to do is call, answer a few questions, then go out by your mailbox and wait."

:iagree: I have to get those at some point.

So far I've been getting by with a Chilton's, a Hayne's, How To Rebuild Your SmallBlock Chevy and Corvette By The Numbers. That last book has been especially helpful because it has a ton of exploded diagrams which tends to be the easiest way (for me at least) to figure out how to put something back together.
