When i was redoing my last car I found a ton of books online that said how to restore mopars. I was wondering if any of you have come across good books for restoring mustangs. Restoring and rebuilding engines as well.

They are ALL helpful to some degree, just depends on what you are trying to do.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref...search-alias=aps&keywords=Mustang restoration

The first two books I have and are good. The interior book (6 down) is good as well. I have that one also and it helps on the interior stuff.

I agree w/ the amazon.com suggestion. When you look at a book, it generally gives you recommendations or lists other books that people bought along w/ the one that you're looking at. Plus, if you spend a certain amount (usually ~$25), sometimes you get free shipping.

Thanks everyone, I am going to probably get them all at once so I can save the shipping and it will keep me busy for a while. Thanks again.

Of course the first book you should purchase is a factory service manual. No better source of information ~$45 from any Mustang parts place.
