This book was the same as all the other Firebird/Trans Am books with pictures of completed cars. To me, a restoration book gets into detail of removing parts, what problem areas to look for and good advice with detailed photographs. Can someone put one of those together?

The ''Original Series" rarely fails to please, but this book is a disappointment. The photo quality is generally excellent; the books greatest failing is trying to cover too many years in one volume, with the result that lovers of the 1st and 2nd generation 'birds will be left wanting. The volume devoted to the Camaro, for example covers only '67-'69; surely the Firebird deserves a similar treatment, or at least volumes separating the 69-81 models from the 82-2002 models. First and foremost, a book like this is for daydreaming and drooling( like Playboy for car nuts); frankly, the later models are common enough sights that thay hardly inspire the lust that the early models do. (My lack of expertise prevents me from commenting on the accuracy of the text as a restorers guide; it may be fine for that purpose.)

A pretty book. Good for a coffee table. Otherwise not much to do with the real world of car restoration.

Product arrived timely and in as or better than advertised. I would purchase more from this seller.
