Went to a swap meet yesterday and found a couple of manuals, Body by Fisher 1967 Service Manual, and 1967 Chevrolet, Chevelle, Camaro, Chevy II, Corvette Chassis Shop Manual, I bought both of them. Thinking they will come in handy when building the 67 Chevelle.

I don't think the body manual is being reprinted so it's a good find but a little pricey.

Spend another $20+shipping and get a copy of the Assmebly Manual for your car.

they are trmendous sources of info. I have used all three many, many times. Also interesting to look thru on a cold winters eve! One of them (I forget which) has info on the tri-power 396 that never made it to production. Good stuff!

They will come in handy before you start your restoration too. Get that body manual out and start reading it. I find it's information more interesting than the shop manual. And as Rich said, get the assembly manual next. If folks take some time and read up on the area of the project they are on in there, their restorations will go much smoother IMHO.
