Does anyone have any experience with GM’s copyrights? 

I’m working on an internet project that may use pictures, drawings and possibly passages from the shop or body manuals.   I just don’t want to run into any legal troubles with GM. 

Any guidance or reports on personal experience would be appreciated. 

Thanks

The first thing I would be doing is simply sending a letter to GM and asking them their permission.

They can only say no, or yes.
