I was cleaning out the 89 convertible for the winter and found some schematics in a binder underneath the rear seat. I assume they belonged to the previous owner, since the pages listed are for a "1991.5" car, but mine is a 1989 RS. Anyone else come across anything like this? It seems to be a complete set of the changes done to a convertible. Here is an example.

ASC 1991 Convertible diagrams:

you dont have anything attached.

 

Sorry, the file was too big to download. I'll rescan it when I get home from work and try again

 

you need to resize the image to make it smaller.

if resizing it ruins the image quality so that you cant read it, PM me and i'll give you a email address to send it to... i can post it online if needed.

 

Having trouble attaching file.

 

Here we go again. The original file size has a lot more detail. It's also about a meg per picture. with 40 pictures total.

 

email the full size pic to MrDude_1@excite.com



thats MrDude_1 you cant see the _ because its underlined, but its there.

 

Check out this site. I downloaded the sheets into zip files.

I have a 92 Z convertible that needs adjusting BAD!! Now I can do that with these drawings!!!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!

 

r4tek ,

THANKYOU for putting those images up. Those zip files contain great information!


THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU

 

Since I keep hearing about all the changes made to late model 3rds from ASC alone, anything older then 1990 that anyone comes across from ASC, I too am anxious to see!

Thanks a lot for the images. I just bought my first Camaro 'vert, and those will be a great help.

 

i was just thinking, the things you found might be there from when and if the top was changed, directions maybe?

 

R4Tek, you did a great job scanning the hard copy, the TIFs have a lot of detail. Since I work in the publishing industry, I took the opportunity to process the TIFs into high quality JPGs and recompile the layout and design. The 8.5x11 200 dpi JPGs are about 350k each. I'd like to email them back to you for redistribution, or, if someone has an extra 10 megs free space on a server, let me know. I'll also compile all the images into a PDF book. Here's a sample page in much lower quality 72 dpi 9x6.

 

R4Tek,

There's some images out of sequence, would appreciate if you could check if a couple were missed, so I could complete work on the set and compile them into a PDF book.

 

Duck...
Any word on the PDF book and the JPEG images. i would be interested in getting both....

 

I have the JPEGs in four zip files, about five megs each. I'll send them individually to your email address. The combined PDF would be too large to email.

 

I would like these as well...............


slutty22@hotmail.com


thanks

 

Ok, but next person who needs 'em gets them from you or 911rsq, heck, I don't even have a convertible...

 

I have a 27 page assembly manual for the 87-93 Camaros that is 1.9 megs in a pdf but do not have any way of hosting it. If anyone is willing to host this please give me an email addy or send me a PM.

It came with my glass window cloth top that 1 year later, I haven't installed.

 

I guess since I started everyone asking for them, anyone who would like the JPEGs, please contact me..... Thanks Duck, for sending them to me...they rock!!!!!

 

If it is not too late or much trouble could one of you be kind enough to email me a copy?

Thanks

Tony.

 

Tony, send me an email at e911rsq@yahoo.com and i will get them out to ya!!

 

I got a copy via my TopsonLine top as well. Most of you may have seen the 8 hour install thread? I'm getting to the stage where the top should be getting put on in a matter of days, say this weekend?!? The glue was an issue but the $20 general adhesive 3M stuff I did buy, NAPA tells me is their best and should work....will give it a go and also try the number of Hughes and 3M products listed in those instructions included. I should add, a similar, but brief copy exists in the Chilton manuals for Firebirds, at leasts, in the same year ranges

One thing I'm not too clear on is the hinge mounts for the trunk below the deck... can't visually locate how to remove to repair...needed to move the trunk back in proper place, avoiding a body shop fee

BILL

 

Bill,

I'm glad to hear you are finally getting around to doing your top!

I seem to remember one of the guys on here who did their own really liked the glue he used a lot - Gorilla Glue. I've never tried it but I do remember that he was very high on it.

I have compiled the PDF version of the tiff images for you. It is available at http://www.medievalconsulting.com/Conv_Top.pdf

I have created the bookmarks and numbered the pages correctly.

Hope it helps...

Scott

 

Scott,

THANKS!

Speedy

 

WOW.....I just saved that onto my computer and it took like 4 minutes, and my machine is FAST.....

 

thanks dude!!


i put a copy up on my server as a mirror....
you can find it here: http://66.83.134.202/travis/91FbodyW...fic%20Info.pdf


if you ever update or change it, let me know you can get me on PM here or email at MrDude_1@excite.com

 

No problem. Will do....

 

FYI,

These are called "PAD"s - Production Assembly Documents - and it is like an instruction manual for building a car, or in this case, converting one. I used to work at GM in the service parts division - we used those books to explain to dealers how to install replacement parts, and also to try to figure out the part numbers that were originally used.

pretty cool that you have one, and believe it or not, as far as GM goes, at least the division I was in, only had 1 book - for 70 people to share - and it was getting pretty tattered.

I remember one time I had a dealer complaining about the seam sealer on the inside of a pickup truck bed - he said it looked like someone stuck their finger in the sealer and wiped the excess off with their finger. I pulled the PAD document and faxed it to him - the instructions were to "use tool#j-xxxx, or finger to wipe excess sealer from seam" - it had a picture of a dude running his finger down the seam!

 

This is awesome information. I have a '91 that is in need of adjudments, and has some missing pieces. thanks

 

Wow...many thanks for converting to PDF and hosting!

 

WOW THANKS FOR THE GREAT INFO

 

The links to these schematics appear to be broken, is anyone hosting them?

Hi Guys,

You might as well throw me on the wagon and please email me the pdf. I have a 1991 I am trying to decide if I put my top on or find a shop that can do it. I already have the stayfast top, just no directions on how to do it. Any help is greatly appreciated. resalois@gmail.com Thanks!!!
