4.0 out of 5 stars Good overview for restoring classic cars, February 13, 1999
By A Customer
Jim Richardson, seen on the syndicated "My Classic Car" series writes a good overview of restoring cars. He covers how to choose a specific car and teh steps necessary for a bsic restoration. Of course a car nut will still want to read a more definitive book for their car but this is a good first step

5.0 out of 5 stars A great palce to start, July 3, 2000
By Jeff Shade (Los Angeles, California) - See all my reviews
Jim Richardson is now seen on the weekly syndicated TV series "Classic Car Garage" where he dispenses similar tips on restoring a classic car. Unlike some other authors, Jim approaches each segment with the genuine enthusiasm, experience, and credibility that only he can offer. Upon reading this book, you'll come away with useful knowledge, valuable tips learned from experience, and the feeling that you've known Jim for years as a trusted friend. I highly recommend it!
