starting '69 restore

[meieeeer]

Just bought a '69 w/ t-tops to restore. Suggested on-line place for electrical specs regarding: plugs points, etc...? (what service manual is the most complete- does it need to be Corvette's or are the aftermarket ones ok?) Have a green/green, going to repaint the ext blue, need to know where to get info about painting or dyeing the interior dash & trim parts? Need parking brake cable assembly, suggested source? Need mufflers to fit into factory side exhaust - source? Thanks......

Hey Meieeeer, Take your time. My suggestion, get all the manuals aftermarket, and chevy. Make sure you know what parts youneed and if you research a little, you can get the best price on parts from the many online and snail mail catologues. The catologues you get are alot more complete withwhat parts are available. Dr rebuild on line has alot of correct items resonably priced I think. Take your time, don't get burned. Never assume the salesmen know what they're talking about. Make sure you know what they're talking about. (Can you tell I rushed in where I never treaded before.) I've learned alot in the last six months. Rule 1 take your time, Rule 2 learnabout what your doing. Its a blast and the forums are a great place to get info. Welcome!!!
