4.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding overview for restoration, December 19, 1998

By A Customer

I am currently restoring a 66 FB, and found your book very helpful by providing an outstanding summary of items to be considered during restoration. Great value for the price. It covers many of the components and how to work them. However, additional information needs to be found from other sources for more specific detail. Examples are specifications, bolt torques, etc.

In summary, it's great, but not a standalone book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Informative resource for novice., July 4, 1999

By A Customer

Although not an in depth review of the restoration process, this book does a good job of getting the novice restorer started in the right direction. For those not getting their hands dirty, the book is helpful in informing the car owner of what will lie ahead in having a professional do the work. The section on buying a mustang is interesting and informative.

By	Great '68 (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This is a great book for the beginner. A must have for anyone restoring this classic automobile. From beginning to end, this book is filled with detailed instructions on disassembly to a concours quality show car. Noteable book topics: History of each year (64 1/2 to 70). Information on how to choose and buy a Mustang. Exploded diagrams. Tons of helpful photographs. Data plate decoder. Highly detailed interior restoration. Body work (rust repair and paint). Step by step instructions make it nearly impossible to get it wrong.
