WTB: Corvette body repair and front and guide -prefer paperback
Looking for the Corvette 84-96 (of course) body repair guides- I think vol 5 & 6 including front end. I had them but of course can't find them. I see them as CD only now but would like paperback copies. Anyone have these to that are not needed anymore? I specifically want to review the aligning hood portion. I have taken hoods off C4's before and reinstalled and aligned (PITA) but it took a long time. I even had the book from Gordon's school with aligned the hood but can't find it either (I moved and downsized house and garage), it was more small adjustments rather than hood R/I . The 90 I am restoring has been hitting the right side of the hood on the side of the striker plate and has scarred the fiberglass (smc) , I am cleaning the preparing the underside of the hood for recoating, when I put it back on, I wan't to somewhat align it before I do the drop test. The entire hood seems like it need to go forward a 1/4 inch or less and the right corner near the passenger door need to go outward about a 1/2 inch. After I recoat the back side of hood black, I am painting the hood off the car along with all the other pieces off the car (no overspray or tape lines) so I really have only one shot at not scarring the nice fresh black underside of the hood.Thanks!
