OK, my Friends, I've got another question. I plan to do several tasks on my '69 T-Top. I have the Assembly Manual and several other books from NCRS. Helpful yes, but is there a book that will help me remove and replace the seats, steering column, weatherstripping, mirrors and the like.
I see the shop manual and chassis manual but the descriptions don't give me the warm fuzzy feeling. I don't want to be stuck with another large book that only covers half the info I need.
Can anyone recommend a book for me, or comment on a book you have?
Thanks,
Jim

Honestly, I don't know of any publication that will go into step-by-step for everything on the cars like that. The Service Manuals definitely do NOT, but they are the best you can get for any of the heavier mechanical stuff, such as the steering column.
There are a few "Restore your Corvette" books out there...I've got a couple of them myself, but don't know off the top of my head the titles, or authors. I'll get the info and post it later, or it might be in the morning.
