Default Chevelle Pictures?

I am looking for some quality pictures or a book that would show details on a 1972 convertible so I can find out what parts I am missing. Can you recommend anything?

You have to have an assembly manual to start with. I purchased my car apart so I had spend a lot of time looking at a assembly manual, other cars, searching the net and asking a lot of questions. I had a friend who sent me pictures when I needed them on my 70. John(Flash) on here has a 72 convertible. One of the best restoration catalog I got was from Classic Muscle (which is Modern Chevolet) they have detailed pictures of parts in each section you might need parts in (like brakes, engine, etc). Plus they tell you if it's available from Chevrolet or after market.

I did buy an assembly manual. I can see how it will be helpful but it isn't the greatest resolution. The car I bought is missing a lot of detail parts. I thought some good quality pictures would help me identify what I am missing. I will post some pictures of the process I have made so far.

You will not find detail pictures on line for these cars that easy. I had to go out and get my own. This catalog was the best I could find to supplement the assemby manual.
