Vette(s): '71 vert '78 Coupe(Modification in progress)

I have several restoration books, but the one by Lindsay Porter is one I always refer back to. It goes into taking the Vette apart, and putting it all back together. The AIM is a good reference as far as how things fit together, but does not have step-by-step procedures.
