I am getting a 71 cutlass and the body is in ok shape for a 30 year old car. Some rust(at least I know how to deal with that) but not too bad. The real problem is that I must reassemble the entire front end sheet metal. The pieces are there and in good shape, just not on the car. This does make the engine and front end a bit easier to get to, but sooner or later I am going to want the front end back on.
I was thinking about getting a manual or two from year one. I have never taken something this far apart and put it back together again. Now I know it is fairly simple, but I want to make sure I do it right. Year one has both a factory assembly manual and a fisher body manual. Which would be the best one to go with, or would you reccomend both? Or even something else entirely? Would I be able to get these manuals cheaper elsewhere?
Like I said, it may be awhile before I need to know, but I want to know where to start looking.
