Default Need Recommendation on Restoration Books/Articles

I just bought a 1989 Mustang and plan to restore it over the next 5 years. It looks good now, but has body flaws and interior issues (main interior is brand new), but dash, etc has some cracking, needs new seatbelts, armrests, new dash panel, etc.

Can anyone recommend any old articles or books on restoration ideas/tech tips to put one of these back into mint condition?

Thanks.

muscle mustang and fast fords just did a 3 part fox body how to interior they are great reads. there was also a how to pain ur fox mutang on a budget article to. if you want the exact months etc let me know i can dig through my mag rack. latemodel restoration is a great source for interior parts and a lot of parts in general. i have had very good luck with them, as far as i know they are the best resto fox mag out there and have very competitive prices. for the basics a good old chiltons or haynes manual is always handy. mike

good luck. it is a crap shoot!!! i tried that route and bought a few books but they touch on every fox mustang ever.just kinda skip through everything. if there is a book that covers your model in specific then i would be surprised.and one book i bought was cutting edge in 1990.they are not cheap either.i have got a pretty good system were i pick one job at a time,google it then go on the forum to get it to work right.
