For a decade, Tom Brownell’s How to Restore Your Collector Car has been the ultimate guide for collector car owners looking to turn a beloved but neglected classic into a traffic-stopping collector car. In this new edition, Brownell and co-author Jason Scott provide a wealth of updated information on the subject, including guides to later domestic and foreign models, new techniques and products, as well as recently passed laws governing modifications and environmental considerations. This is the book that guides experts and novices alike through every step of the automotive restoration process. Setting up your workspace, purchasing (or renting) the right tools, are covered—as well as numerous tips and techniques for restoring bodies, paint, engines, drivelines, suspension systems, upholstery, glass, brakes, and wheels—in short, everything you need to know about restoring a classic car to its original glory.
Reader Reviews
In addition to you car's workshop manual, this an excellent reference for your restoration library. It mentions many resources for various replacement parts, whether to restore or replace parts, and plenty of instruction, tips, and tricks to repair and restore parts yourself. A very good overall read for those ready to tackle their first classic car restoration on their own.
