Restorer's Model A Shop Manual by Jim Schild,
By Martin L. Hassel (Manchester, Missouri USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Restorer's Model A Shop Manual (Motorbooks Workshop) (Paperback)
This is a "nuts and bolts" manual designed for "hands-on" restorers...romance novel, comic book and bathroom coffee table book readers need not apply. I personally restored and assembled an early 1928 Model A Phaeton using this book as my primary reference source combined with the Model A Judging Standards and Ford Service Bulletins. My car wouldn't be together without the extremely accurate instructions, plentiful illustrations and references. This is, by far, the best reference manual available on the Ford Model A, hands down!!! This book is from a fellow who has obviously restored quite a few cars and knows what he's talking about. One strives for accuracy but as time elapses, more is forgotten so you use multiple sources and cross reference. This book, however, is the definitive basis for all others...start here, you won't be disappointed with this essential "tool" for restoring your Model A. Torque specs, tool info., lubrication information, helpful hints abound in this step-by-step book. A must buy for the restorer!!! Truly magnificent!

Way too expensive for the product,
This review is from: Restorer's Model A Shop Manual (Motorbooks Workshop) (Paperback)
This manual is a general manual and does not go beyond the obvious regarding assembly and disassembling Model A systems. The photos are dark and not very clear and the price on Amazon is way too expensive for what you are getting. There are other sources such as the on-line antique car parts dealers, who sell this book and other related books for much less. I purchase almost everything I can through Amazon, but this product is priced at a ridiculous level.
