Best Restoration book/documentation

[Scott S]

Hi All -
I have Dr Johnson's Restorers Guide for my car, but I am looking for more detailed info. Is there a more detailed restoration/concours book someone can recommend?

Thanks -
Scott S

What car do you have?????

That Magnus Walker should probably write!

Mine is a 77 - so primarily 1974 to 89, but I would love to find something that also included the long hood cars as well.
Thanks!

Mark Haab wrote one for the '74-'89 cars.

Are you looking for authenticity information or how to set a rocker panel properly?

I like Peter Morgans book - I have the earlier version of this one. Yes, it's haynes suported but let me look at mine tonight to see how in depth it is. I remember it being informative.

Also this one is good but just provides detail on the cars and what they included. Might want to buy the $20 on line version as the single new hardcopy edition is $2,200. (?????)

You can get the online versions at Google Books.

Wayne has the Peter Morgan Book http://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/shopcart/BOOK/POR_BOOK_bkpres-detail.htm

Peter Morgan has a good restoration book for the 911.

I'll send you mine if you want to check it out. It is really detailed. I think it's been 15 years since I looked at it. Body section has way more than I thought.
