4.0 out of 5 stars
No-nonsense guide to doing CORRECT auto restoration,
By A Customer
This review is from: Standard Guide to Automotive Restoration (Paperback)
This is a no-nonsense guide to dealing with the concourse winning restoration. One thing I like the most about the book is the detail sections on everything from specific engine parts to welding fundamentals and tricks, to the common, simple language of how to do the job right. It was updated in 1992, so most of the paint and chemical parts are pretty up to date. Lots of pictures staged throughout the processes, with USEFUL captions. The text coveres mostly American Iron from the 20s through the 40s, and suffers from some of the specifics of the era of thicker sheet metal and old-style paints.
4.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Standard Guide to Automotive Restoration (Paperback)
Excellent book. Author is a little bit opinionated, but right on target when it comes to technical aspects. The portion on metal forming was especially informative and up to date. It brought up a number of techniques that I did not even know about. That is what a book is supposed to do.

This review is from: Standard Guide to Automotive Restoration (Paperback)
Nothing really unique here that hasn't been seen or learned with even the most rudimentary exposure to car restoration.A good beginner's book as to what it takes in terms of time, space, tools, materials, skills, research, etc. Primarily focused on pre 1960 vehicles.
