Classic Camaro Restoration (Restoration Tips & Techniques) Review

Classic Camaro Restoration (Restoration Tips and Techniques)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This book is not for enthousiasts looking for information on restoring their Camaro to original looks, all the info is about making the car handle better and go faster. The book consists of several articles out of car mags on body, drivetrain, suspension and engine. Unfortunately almost all info, except for some basics, is very outdated. With modern parts (from last 10 years) you can build a better / faster car.
The good news is that this book has some good info on upgrading the car with simple and cheap methods, making it worth it's money for people on a tight budget.
The layout is typical for magazine articles. All pictures are black-white and the copys are not always sharp enough to see all the details.

Ultimate American V-8 Engine Data Book: 2nd Edition (Motorbooks Workshop) Review

Loved the book! Read up on all the old V-8's I've owned or driven. Learned some of the differences between Clevelands and Windsors and big block and small block. However, the V-8 I was perhaps most interested was curiously omitted from this book. I have the Mopar 4.7 liter V-8 in my Grand Cherokee, and that same engine is in my Dodge work truck. This book only covers the older 318 and 360 or the two newer hemis. Oh, well. Still loved the book.

Camaro Restoration Guide : 1967- 1969 is a knowledgeable book on pretty much every hassle you're likely to encounter whilst undertaking your own restoration of this classic car. The book is broken into chapters which focus on each "group" of sub assemblies that a keen restorer will tackle, like body, engine, interior, sub chassis, electical system, etc.
There are plenty of black and white photographs, and reproductions of original GM assembly line instructions and diagrams, which help you picture how the vehicle fits together properly. There are tips on how to go about the restoration, and what parts to tackle first. There is an excellent chapter on decoding the trim tags used on these vehicles, which is important in order to validate the identity of the vehicle in question.
Overall, an excellent technical resource on the first generation Chevrolet Camaro, and I'm sure my copy will finish up extremely dog eared and liberally covered in greasy fingerprints before my own RS Camaro gets back on the road!
