Thanks for your guidance.@sbaisley ...welcome to CCF.
We want to watch you thru your restoration, and of course help in any way we can.
I was lucky many years ago to get a dealer parts counter paper copy of a GM Corvette parts book.
All parts counters use a computer now.
That is the most extensive parts book to have. You may find one at swap meets or by asking at dealers. Maybe you can get an older disc/database from a dealer?
The next best thing may be an assembly manual. That is available from Corvette parts sources.
good luck with your endeavour.

ThanksWelcome to the forum and best of luck with your project. We love to follow along with someone else's misery and expense to keep us informed.
When I had my 66 Chevelle I had an assembly manual and it was worth its weight in gold, well rusty gold, but it just answered so many questions. Photograph what you can can come up with a parts storage plan. It will all go well and you will be cruising in no time flat!
There are some very knowledgable folks on here that can help along the way. Good luck.
Thanks. I got two of these many years ago when I acquired the car.Welcome sbaisley, Sounds like you have a nice project on your hands.
If you are looking for an OEM GM parts numbers catalog, I've never looked for one, so not I'm sure how difficult they are to find. However, I have occasionally seen the odd one on Ebay, and I know someone who has provided me information from the catalogs he has, and the information is very helpful in chasing the right parts.
If you are looking for help in disassembly, and eventually restoration and re-assembly, the pic shows the indespensible trio I use most, plus a wealth of information on-line. It's sooooo much easier to find information on these cars now, than it was 40 years ago!
Good Luck, Luke

Good am and welcome to the forum.Thanks. Yes there is a lot of knowledge in the forum members.
I suggest, if you have not already done so, to access the NCRS 1966 Corvette Tech Manual. This is over 350 pages of every bit of detailed information you need to establish accuracy on the build of your 1966, or even "judge" it at an event. The NCRS (Natl Corvette Restorers Assoc) is a vital association to join for any restorer of Corvettes, particularly C1 and C2. Extremely useful in restoration to accurately signal which NOS or aftermarket parts required to be as it left the factory. I used it to restore my L36 1967 roadster.I am about to start a restoration on a 1966 Roadster and was wondering if people could recommend an exhaustive parts manual as I plan to use it as a guide in organizing part storage as I disassemble.
Thanks guys but it has come the time to sell the 66 vette. Can anyone direct me where on this site I can enter a car for sale. I'm sure it is simple but have not been able to figure it out. I can see other cars for sale but not how to create a listing.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the helpHere you go but you will need a total of 10 posts under your belt to be able to post your Vette in our classifieds. You have 7 so say hello 3 more times and you're good to go

I have created the extra posts, can see the Corvettes fir sale but still cannot see where I can add a car for sale. Sorry to be so thick.Thanks for the help
No worries. Here's a picture of what you see. Click on the 'ADD LISTING' top right of the window. It will open the listing for you and just fill in the blanks and add some photos where it says 'Attach Files'. If you're still having grief, get back to me.I have created the extra posts, can see the Corvettes fir sale but still cannot see where I can add a car for sale. Sorry to be so thick.
