Just a curiosity question. I'm starting to research into bringing my '65 back to life. I've been reading here, and whatever tips/how to's I've found around the net. But was curious if any of the books regarding mustang restorations are any good??? If so which ones would anyone suggest??

Thanks

There is one Mustang Restoration handbook on the market, but it is ancient. It's good but dated information, but the photos are black and white without very good reproduction. Buy one out of the Amazon shops used and save money.

This is a good book to have. Depending on how involved you want to get restoring the car, find a set of shop manuals. They cover more little things on how the car is put together. They are getting harder to find and the price can get pretty high though. When all else fails just ask everyone at:SNSign:

The first one of the list is the true restoration handbook. The rest are most general how-to or authenticity guides. The firsat one is the one I was talking about.

Factory shop manuals and wiring and body assembly guides are definitely a must.
