Eckler's Corvette Parts made a technical bulletin for 1963-1967 Corvettes that gave detailed instructions on how to remove and replace the front clip. The guy that is doing the body work for my 1961 Corvette said that he cannot find one for the C1 Corvette but has talked to someone from Eckler who believes that one may exist. Does anyone know if this document does exist? If so, can you either sell me a copy of it or direct me to a place where I can obtain it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
