I have totally stripped my project 80 Trans Am.  I have it on my rotisserie.  Are there any good "how-to" books / manuals on putting everything back together.  I am reasonably confident that I can get it done, but don't want to end up with extra parts and/or put things together in the wrong sequence.

Find a factory service chassis manual and repair manual. E-bay's usually a good place to start looking for those. If you are in CA the Pomona Car Swap Meet probably has them too.  


The Silver Buick- '77 Skylark coupe w/455&TKO-600, '72 Centurion Conv't - 455w/TH400, '67 T-bird 4Dr (suicide) w/428&C6. Needing to replace a '69 Firebird 400.

Pontiac restoration guides can be tough, but in your case, see if oyu can find a restoartion manual for a second gen Camaro, since your '80 T/A has the same chassis and body structure as a Camaro.
