| Every car enthusiast in America loves
and admires classic cars. Nearly everyone who restores cars
will tell you that they are in the business for the love of
it, not the money--it's hard to beat the feeling of pride when
new life has been given to an old classic. However, restoring
a classic or collector car can be an intimidating proposition,
even if you know what you are doing. Restoring
a pre-war classic or vintage automobile can be an enormously
satisfying and rewarding experience, but a restoration can also
turn quickly into a costly nightmare. Since many people
are new to the game they need all the help they can get. These
two books on restoration are among the most popular. They cover
what you will need to know. Both can be found online (and are
linked to the order page) and in some major bookstores across
the country. More
restoration advice. And the menu at the bottom of the page
provides links to several more major sources of classic car
restoration advice. |
