Does anyone recommend a good book to follow while doing a frame-off restoration on my 1970 vette?

Vette Vues Fact Book 1968-1972
I found this book to have the most information out there.

Corvette by the Numbers: 1955-1982 The Essential Corvette Parts Reference
is another good one

I believe that Mid America has both for sale.

I think I have just about all that apply to me, the ones I refer to most often are:

-NCRS Technical Information Manual & Judging Guide
http://www.ncrs.org/store/shop.cgi/p...061923833.8342

-Corvette Factory Assembly Instruction Manuals (AIM Manual)
Same link as above

-Corvette Restoration Guide 1968-1982 (Authentic Restoration Guides)
by Richard Prince
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...glance&s=books

Corvette Chassis Restoration Guide 1953-1972
by Joseph A., Jr. Tripoli
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...glance&s=books


NOTE: Another one that is nice I havent used much yet however when I get further along in the assembly of my car I know I will is the: NCRS Corvette Operations Manual & Performance Verification Guide
http://www.ncrs.org/store/shop.cgi/p...061923833.8342
This book describes how things are supposed to work ie. what is suppose to happen when I push the wiper switch, how does a correctly fucntioning fuel, battery, etc. guage act.

Again this is not to say these are the best, only the ones I seem to go back to most often for various different reasons. Hope it helps :thumbs:

I just checked on those books. Corvette Central has them listed not Mid AMerica.

All of the above books give good info on doing 'correct' restoration work.
I find the book below to be most useful for 'getting it done'.
