4.0 out of 5 stars Great technical content and heaps of original assembly aids., August 24, 1998
Camaro Restoration Guide : 1967- 1969 is a knowledgeable book on pretty much every hassle you're likely to encounter whilst undertaking your own restoration of this classic car. The book is broken into chapters which focus on each "group" of sub assemblies that a keen restorer will tackle, like body, engine, interior, sub chassis, electical system, etc.

There are plenty of black and white photographs, and reproductions of original GM assembly line instructions and diagrams, which help you picture how the vehicle fits together properly. There are tips on how to go about the restoration, and what parts to tackle first. There is an excellent chapter on decoding the trim tags used on these vehicles, which is important in order to validate the identity of the vehicle in question.

Overall, an excellent technical resource on the first generation Chevrolet Camaro, and I'm sure my copy will finish up extremely dog eared and liberally covered in greasy fingerprints before my own RS Camaro gets back on the road!

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent guide for disassembly, repair, and reassembly., March 20, 2000
By Malcolm Wightman (Cleveland, Ohio) - See all my reviews
The Camaro Restoration Handbook is a very useful reference for the "real world" aspects of Camaro restoration. It discusses specific procedures for removal, repair, and replacement of virtually every major part of the body of the car in detail, including a lot of useful tips one wouldn't find in a service manual.

It is a little skimpy on engine info, for which I suggest the Haynes Chevrolet Engine Overhaul Manual (cheap) and the official Chevrolet service manual for your car (expensive). Also, this book is not very useful for identifying parts in a full restoration; look to Jason Scott's "Camaro Restoration Guide" for 1967-69 models.

Overall, it is an excellent source of information on the manual labor side of Camaro restoration.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not for those that already have the factory manuals., March 10, 2002
By Marla B. Jurek (Evans, Georgia United States) - See all my reviews
If your restoring your own camaro, (and you do your own restoration work) you'd think this would be a good book to get. However, if your like me, you already own the GM overhaul/chasis manual, the fisher body manual, the wiring diagram and the factory assembly manual. I bought this book thinking it would aid me in restoring my camaro. Instead, this book is nothing but a bunch of diagrams/clips taken from the books mentioned above but in much less detail.

I am surprised the other two reviews were real positive because if you already have the factory manuals, it renders this book useless and quite lacking. This book does have a good bit of facts and codes but if your looking for that type of info, go for the Big Book of Camaro Data.

For real "how to" type applications and in a step-by-step procedure in bringing your camaro back to life I recommend the Camaro Restoration Handbook by Currao and the Camaro Owner's Handbook by Sessions. Check 'em out.
