      Howard, If you are restoring a 63 or 64 Corvette, the 8th edition is a MUST have. Every section, paragraph and sentence has been updated. The team tried to correct any errors along with bringing more detail to each item. Timelines and serial numbers for changes are also clarified. You will also see that there are hundreds of new photos.

      I hope this makes it clear why you should have an 8th edition.

      Regards, Joe
      Well, the 7th Edition will probably go down in NCRS history as the shortest life of any TIM&JG ever.

        I just received my copy of the 1963-64 8th Edition TIM/JG. Joe Scafidi and his manual team did an awesome job! This new, revised manual has been long in the making. It is an indispensable tool for any 1963 or 1964 owner or judge. I would highly recommend purchasing a copy. Great work, All!

            Received my new 63-4 manual yesterday, read it fast last night, now I plan on reading each page more thoroughly, Lots of new information, many corrections and COLOR pictures WOW! lots of them!
            Very important to me as I am currently restoring a 63 split 340hp car.

            Great Job, JOE and your team, no one could have done it better.

            Also, the price paid is very reasonable for all the information we receive!

            Very Impressed, Bill

              Guys, Thanks so much for all the kind words about the manual. I'm happy that it is so well received. I have to say, I can't take all the credit for this. A group of 10 took 2 years to research and build what you see. I would like recognize all the members who spent nights, weekends, free time at Regional Meets to get together and edit what you see here. We also need to thank Garry Mion for all his hard work editing and sorting our mess.
              I know their names are in the manual but here is the group responsible: Kathryn Adie; Andy Cabral; Angelo Finateri; Don Hooper; Mike Lombardi; Stewart Lowe; Mike McCagh; Brian McIntyre; Troy Saharic.
              Thanks to all of you for battling this project!

              Joe

                    I ordered the new ‘63-64 JG at the Winter Meet in Melbourne and received it in the mail this past week. I’ve now reviewed most (but not yet quite all) of it and can attest it’s chocked full of new information and further refinement of old information — a vast improvement overall. To me, one of the most readily noticeable enhancements involves the many new color photos on glossy paper. A picture surely is worth a thousand words sometimes, but this new manual has both, running near 200 pages long. Definitely worth the modest investment.

                    I don’t know how many man hours it took to put this thing together, but it had to be considerable. I join the others here in a big “thank you” to all who contributed.

                      For a chapter breakdown, the extra covers (and smaller black spirals) are well worth the $35.

                        Agreed, much cheaper than the FedEx-Kinkos charges we used to have to pay for this.
