Product Details

Editorial Reviews

Product Description: Join the restoration craze with the first automotive book from BowTie Press. This is a comprehensive, nuts and bolts approach to automotive restoration that will demonstrate the best way to bring a car back to its original brilliance. Restoration expert Larry Lyles makes the process come alive with over 200 color images and step-by-step details. While the vehicle being restored is a 1970 Dodge Charger, the techniques and ideas presented here can be employed to restore any vehicle. Originally conceived and written as a twenty-four article series for Auto Restorer magazine (the premier publication for die-hard restoration enthusiasts), this compilation delves into a complete, ground up restoration of a classic muscle car. It offers as much real-world information on how to accomplish such a restoration.

This was a great book it does what others claim to do and actually goes step by step through a rebuild and explains why things are done the way they are. I learned a lot from it and I'm looking forward to more from this author.
Must read

Very good and logical trip through the restoration (not Concours and unlimited budget). Well worth most people to read before you start.
Very good book for the price!!

I don't even own a dodge product- I'm restoring a semi rare 1980 vw Scirocco and found this book to be one of the best so far! Very helpful advice with a downhome feel to it- it's not preachy nor does Larry talk down to the readers- which is great. I love the book and have read it more than once... like another reviewer said: "It's worth its weight in gold!" I agree. Good job Larry! -Royce

Finally,a real step-by-step guide to restoring ANY car.

What a great book.A colour book on restoring a car and its a step by step guide.Finally a book that deserves to be called a step by step guide.This book is an ideal restoration manual suitable for all cars so no matter what car you want to restore this book is the way to go.Colour photos show what to do.This book covers so much and each section is covered in great detail.Its great value for the price alone and for what it offers.

This book states that the techniques within the book can be used to restore any car.Didnt waste my time trying to fault with this book.This book will please most people.If you are planning to restore your car,no matter what it is,I highly recommend this book and the author's book:"Revive your ride:secrets from a body and paint restorations pro".(ISBN:1-931933-66-1).I also recommend purchasing a workshop manual for specifically for your car.
