Twinnie,
I have that book, and it has its share of after-market product improvements for your C3. At each stage (suspension, engine, or whatever) it suggests after-market options. It is more maintenance-oriented, in my opinion, as it shows how to remove a component, tricks-of-the-trade, and possible opportunities to upgrade or improve the component performance.
However, although this book has helped me lots, I would prefer to find a book with step-by-step accurate procedural maintenance to restore a corvette (if I just want to get it done, and I don't care about mastering a concept, then just give me instructions a monkey could follow, and will do the wrenching...:L)
Evo's suggestion for this book is great for learning the concept of how to restore a corvette. I basicly read it like I would a novel, took notes, and then began tackling the project. It works like a reference, but its not purposely laid-out that way (I would remember where a particular topic was discussed, and searched for that bit of information). The hard part was keeping my desire to get to the wrenching part before reading the whole information. Nevertheless, it is very informative.
On the other hand, I don't believe that a "majical" book exists for this purpose. One simply has to develop a corvette-oriented reference or encyclopedia for sourcing information to this end. Everyone else who has suggested this very thing in this forum have a clear understanding in corvette-based issues :BOW
