Books on restoration

Looking to find any good books on restoring a 66-68 Mustang.
I'm sure many of you know of some great ones. I'd be interested in hearing from anyone with an opinion. I'm a newbie and any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
David

The best thing to do is go to one of those big bookstores. Most of them have tons of Mustang books to pick from. There are so many it's hard to say what the best one is. I practically have a library of them!

When I wanted to find restoration info about my mustang I picked up a parts catalog (like the paddock, or national parts depot) and looked under the literature section. They have a selection of the best restoration books written about stangs. They also have more topic-specific books about things like painting your car or doing engine or interior work.

I'm starting to collect quite a few of these books myself. One of my favorites is the "Mustang Restoration Handbook" by Don Taylor and "Mustang Restoration Tips and Techniques". Don't forget to pick up a trusty shop manual while you're out. This book is indispensable, and worth it's weight in gold when trying to figure out how put something back together or diagnose a problem. Good luck and have fun!
