Paragon Restorations has a pretty good catalog and shows some very good diagrams of how the parts all fit together. Other than that, have you tried the AIM? I could send you pics of my '70, but I am not sure if the '75 is different.
Thanks guys,what I'm looking for is what the fiberglass looks like near the catch where the weather stripping gose. Whoever had my car before did a real hack job of a repair.Thanks 6880Mike for the picture.Being new to this what is the AIM?

Assembly Instruction Manual. It was a looseleaf notebook they used on the assembly line to reference when assembling the cars. They are available from several sources, including Corvette Specialties. They are all photocopies of the same original.

To add to what Pumpkin has said, AIMs show how the cars were assembled, provide notes on assembly of specific parts, show original part numbers, dates of running changes, installaiton of options, VIN information, etc. They are worth the cost. While not a How-To document, AIMs are one of the single best reference sources a Corvette enthusiast can have in his/her library.
If you do not have an owner's manual for your '75, order a reproduction when you order the AIM. You'd be surprised how many Corvette drivers do not have an owner's manual. Lots of valuable information in the owner's manual.
I ordered a AIM,also the owner manual was the first thing that I ordered. I saw on another post about the restoration kit you can get fromGM I called and now that on it's way.I'm learning fast the more information you can get the better.
