1.0 out of 5 stars Very narrow focus, March 9, 2005

By	Stephen Marsh (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Book is great if you're

1) installing a new headliner
2) repairing a convertible top
3) installing a new vinyl hardtop
4) replacing apolstery
5) replacing carpet

anything else (dash, console, steering wheel and column, weatherstripping for instance) is either not or barely covered and the topics that ARE covered feature really poor b & w photo's that are generally taken from such a distance - that you can't see anything in them anyway.

Book is basically an abridged version of selected sections of the 1964 1/2-1973 resotration guide - buy that one instead - about the same price and WAY more comprehensive

Clearly illustrated. Step by step quide with plenty of ways to make the restoration better than a professional shop's job. Overall - excellent.

1.0 out of 5 stars Too simplistic., January 13, 2006

By	B. Mappe "65 Coupe" (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

From this book I was expecting some helpful tips that might not seem too obvious to the beginner, you know, "there is a hidden screw that needs to be removed first".

Instead the book says stuff like:
There are 2 steps to replacing your carpet; 1) remove the old carpet 2) install the new carpet. (And I am not exaggerating much.)

And the pics weren't that great either. I don't recommend.
