5.0 out of 5 stars Restorer's Model A Shop Manual by Jim Schild, November 24, 2003

By	Martin L. Hassel (Manchester, Missouri USA) - See all my reviews

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!
