This book was my second purchase of a restoration book and have found this excellent. It has lots of advise on the basics of restoration including simple rules of thumb when trying to decide what to do with a component - replace, restore, upgrade, or leave well enough alone... Lots of detailed color photos make it very helpful but a very heavy book...I could not make it though Brownell's book because of the constant product pushing. This is a very honest book.
This book has exellent content but the quality of the printing and photographs is terrible. It looks like a book made from bound colour photocopies and I think this is essentially what it is - a digital copy of an original version rather than a reprint. And it was printed and bound in the United State of America!
Most books on this topic are long on rhetoric, and short on detail. To an extent this book is just like the rest. Lots of glossy photos, and lots of gaps in the text. That said, this book is better than most - due purely to its length. The problem with most 'how to" books, is that the authors assume that the readers can mind-read - it's what makes VCR programming guides unintelligible. I have done some car restoration, but I wouldn't want to rely on this book [anymore than any others I've read] as a starting point for a restoration, if I were a complete amateur.Some topics are adequately dealt with; but sadly, other important topics are glossed over.
Required book for a restoration class. GREAT PRICE and speedy delivery from the supplier. Couldn't be more pleased!
Perhaps this book is out dated but one thing for sure is that it's for advanced restorers. I have been around cars for years(30+) but have never under gone a complete restoration and if I did I would not choose this book.
very happy
