TERRIBLE!!!Too many mistakes.Mr Hurd don't know the first thing about a correct Chevelle restoration.Too bad its the only Chevelle restoration book available.Stick to assembly manuals and original dealer books for your best source of information.This book don't cut it!!
The book is a bunch of notes without comprehensive organization. Models like '69 are insuficiently covered (but nice if you have a '71). This book can give you a hand but is very very limited.
Having restored a number of Chevrolets to showroom condition, I found Paul's book a sea of misinformation. Pictures with wrong dialog, incorrect and invalid part numbers and hard to decypher copy. Too bad this is the only book available for the Chevelle fan. You can actually get better info from the well-documented Camaro boys and probably be more accurate than what Paul is advising. If you use this book in your resto, take it with a grain of salt and double check your part numbers with the abundance of Chevelle web site info.This book sorely needs re-written... more carefully!!!
This book provided very little quality information. In several cases the information was either missing or incorrect.
The book is a broad and detailed manual covering the entire list of restoration steps and processes, but what the book fails to account for are manufacturing differences created by the various GM assembly plants. An example is that a 65 Chevelle model from the Kansas City plant will have more undercarriage parts painted than the car assembled at the Fremont, California plant. The book tends to state "the part appears this way and this way only" on a properly restored car and makes no accounting of mid-year changes or manufacturing location difference. I certainly hope this book is never used to judge concours Chevelle restorations.For the restorer wishing to learn great deals of general information about restoring a Chevelle, this can be a good reference tool, it just needs to be taken with a grain of salt not not used as the sole source of restoration information.

This book provides a plethora of facts and decoding information. So many facts that this book is more of a technical reference than reading material. If you're working on restoring a Chevelle this book can save you many hours of research.
The author of this book has accomplished nothing more than gathering a lot of GM service manuals photo copying the pages as they relate to all years of Chevelle and bound them up into a book. Where are the facory colors for various body componets and a good aftermarket match? For that matter how about some color photos in the book? Forget the book and go to the many on line Chevelle clubs for useful information. web pages and get the information.
