This book attempts to walk you through a restoration but fails due to the huge amount of information as would be really necessary to accomplish what needs to be done. I like it because generally, there is enough information to get you started and aware of possible issues you might encounter but not necessarily accurate due to the differences between model years. Regardless, it does touch on many aspects of restoration to give you a starting point for your own research.

This is a great book.Its not about restoring ANY car it IS about how to restore Mustangs.Plenty of photos(all black & white photos)of various Mustangs in varying degress of disassemble.There's enough information throughout each chapter to get the general idea on how to restore a Mustang.For the do it yourself mechanics,etc this book is a suitable guide.
I would suggest a decent workshop manual to go with this book.There are plenty of other Mustang reference books that show restored Mustangs and detailed photos that would help whilst restoring your Mustang. (Review Data Last Updated: 2007-07-12 05:08:13 EST)

This manual is useless for a 6 cyl mustang as far as any engine restoration. It is nearly useless for frame restoration especially and floor work.

I purchased this book along with two others; Chiltons service manual for early Mustangs and the parts interchange book. As a package they are three volumes one must have if doing a restoration project.
It contains many good tips and recommendations for making restoration more efficient and enjoyable. (Review Data Last Updated: 2007-07-12 05:08:13 EST)

The book is what I was looking for. There are a lot of helpful tips and instructions for buying and starting Mustang's restoration. It gives very good overall prospect of what awaits you when getting into the subject. Very good thing to start with, the next ones to follow are some shop manuals, parts listings etc.

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.

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.

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. (Review Data Last Updated: 2006-06-26 05:01:46 EST)
