Been a lurker for a while but haven't posted much. However I just rolled a 67 firebird 400 into my garage so now I'm sure ill be bothering everyone with random questions. Really kinda diving into the deep end here. As the car is straight and rust free but in pieces. And as I didn't do the taking apart myself I don't have the benefit of remembering how things went together.
Question is is there a preferred manual for total car 're assembly? I'm going to buy the "how to build pontiac v8 power" one but honestly engine isn't a big concern. I'm more looking for like how to put my dash back together, and the gauge cluster, and the fuel tank, and.....well....you get the picture lol. I assume there are likely several options, Chiltons etc. I just wanted to know if the community felt one was an obviously superior choice.
This is also how I'm used to working anyway. I'm an aircraft mechanic and everything has to be done according to a reference. So I'm used to looking at directions when performing a task anyway. Less manly perhaps but it gets the job done
So I should have the requisite skills to take on this fairly advanced project. It's just been since I was 18 that I attempted one. So it will be an adventure.
