Amazon Customer: Well written and plenty of pics. Very much geared toward the diy community. Some major projects require special tooling.

BRIAN PERRAS: Great reference Manual

Lost my Time: Ein nettes Büchlein um anzulesen wie es gehen könnte. Aber es mangelt erheblich im Detail, in der Genauigkeit der Beschreibung und an den dazu notwendigen Fotos. Eine schöne Literatur um sich einzustimmen, aber als Arbeitsanleitung nicht zu gebrauchen. Allein für die Frame Off Aktion fehlen notwendige Angaben, welche Schrauben, welche Stecker zu lösen sind und wo sich diese genau befinden. Ich finde es trotzdem in Ordnung, als Literatur "ich habe ein Corvette Buche" im Bücherschrank kann es bleiben.

Rheal Leger: Nice things to know with your c3 but would be nice to know how to adjust the body parts

Kathy M: Everything was good, shipping was a bit slow, but I chose the cheapest option so no big deal.

Franck: quatre étoiles pour ce beau livre(tout en couleur) qui n est qu une simple approche de la restauration d une corvette c3 mais qui vous permettra de connaitre entièrement une c3 sans l avoir possédée ou démontée.
je recommande ce livre a ceux qui voudraient commencer une restauration totale ou connaitre les dessous de leurs voitures

steve: A good reference and lots of good photos but not enough info to be a stand alone restoration guide. Hoped to find info on how to select body mount shims, auto to 4 speed conversion. Noticed that steering column installation does not include all details in GM assembly manual. Did like seeing info on windshield frame replacement, correcting door gap, building a body dolly, trailing arm replacement, and window removal.

Russell Taylor: My Vette has about 8 layers of paint on it. I was considering cleaning up the body a touch and throwing a new paint job over the top. But this book gave me some things to check on first... I was restoring the interior, a lot of custom interior work included... This book helped me see problems before they became crisis. So, I checked the previous paint, found all those layers, some not so well done... Leading me to decide to strip it and start fresh from the gel coat. I was able to find water leaks inside that I might have missed which would have been a problem for my new interior... I was also able to check on the condition of parts I hadn't thought about to know if I need to replace/repair or just clean them up... My goal is to make my Vette last another 30 - 40 years... Now I think I will be able to do just that.
Lots of pictures with detailed descriptions.
Step by step guides to practically everything.
Key gotcha points are pointed out... This is not just about fixing that Vette that has been perfectly houses for 30+ years, it is about fixing that Vette that has been used, abused and really needs that restoration now...
