C4 Owners Please Read � Assembly Documentation

He also said one of the problems with the Plant Automation Documents (PAD) is that they are about 10 times the size of the AIMs. This is both good and bad. It makes it impractical to provide them in hard copy form but they contain a lot of useful detail such as part usage specifics, in/out service dates, etc. He said that they would have to be distributed electronically either on CD/DVD or available for download. The good news is that they are already in electronic form and stored in the plant archives.



I would like to encourage C4 restorers to persistently but politely request release of these documents. I think we should make our requests known to both the Bowling Green Plant and Corvette Museum.

You can submit enquires to the Bowling Green Plant at:

You can submit requests and ideas for the Corvette Museum to:

Wendell Strode, Executive Director. His email is:

Thanks Floyd! We will speak with Tom about this............and also our Library/Archives Coordinator, Betty Hardison. Betty may know more about this than I do. Thanks again for the heads up.

Let's see what happens. I'll keep everyone posted.

Actually the assembly document that we all know and love as the AIM started out life for the 1953 Corvette, not as a manual or book, but as individual drawings. They were called Corvette Assembly Instruction drawings.
