5.0 out of 5 stars
An informative and entertaining look at auto restoration.,
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Restore Your Collector Car (Paperback)
I had more fun reading this book than any of the like material I've found. It covers all aspects of restoring a classic or collector car with a strong focus on the skills and tools necessary to complete the task. This one book got me started on a project got me enrolled in a High School Welding Class, and got me buying real tools. If you have any doubts about trying to tackle a restoration project yourself, this book should put them to rest.

This review is from: How to Restore Your Collector Car (Motorbooks Workshop) (Paperback)
I've got a 53 Studebaker to restore, so I checked out all the books available at the library on car restoration. This one was by far the best. In fact I liked it so much, I'm buying my own copy. It told me everything I wanted to know and more. For example, the chapter on removing rust explains and illustrates several ways to go about it, then makes recommendations complete with which is the best for the environment.

This review is from: How to Restore Your Collector Car (Motorbooks Workshop) (Paperback)
After being frustrated with countless titles on auto restoration, this book is a God send. It covers everything in concise detail and includes large Color photographs. No other books Ive seen comes anywhere close to the quality of this one. The information in here is priceless. The author has obviously restored many cars and researched many techniques.
