Sorry if I got you a little excited with the title folks! A good friend of mine is thinking about buying that book, I'm not sure exactly how the title is, but it's something like the thread title. He wants to know if it's any good because he' s thinking about buying and he asked me if I thought it would be a good book. I said, not sure maybe, I'll ask on SmokinVette. Does anyone have this book or read it? Is it any good?
I believe Eckler' s or MidAmerica sells it.
Thank you in advance :cheers:

It's okay. It really depends on what you want to do. It covers C4s too if I recall.
Projects range from installing grids/screens to suspension bushings and ball joint replacement (c4).
Lots of references to purchasing parts from MidAmerica.

This one is less cosmetic:

Books are CHEAP imo. I've probably got 10 related to C5s and LS engines.

So did I.
Maybe we should start our own 101+ projects to do to your C5 list.
I'll start:

I couldn't agree more. I've bought a few books but I've learned far more from the very knowledgeable individuals here on the forum. :thumbsup:

Got a copy of this book back in my C4 days,
Did a few mods but never really learned much from it.
Kept it as a memento of bygone days.

Absolutely! Getting a book you'll just end up missing all the nuts on the forums! lol
