RE: Restomod information
I plan on purchasing the How to Rebuild A Small Block Ford, and have the Restoration Handbook. The Restomod book Ive never seen but the other two, 101 projects and the Restoration Guide, Ive thumbed threw at Barnes and Noble and really their not impressive.

Even if I did have those evil thoughts,
I couldn't afford it. You guys spend an incredible amount of money on your projects that you will never see again. I have known this fact to be true ever since I learned how to think. Whenever you put more money into a car than the car is worth, then you are doing it for pleasure or sport.

The Restoration Guide lists Ford part numbers - great, except they are mostly service part numbers and not marked on the part, eg, engineering part numbers. The rest is pictures.
101 is 'interesting' but I'm not into restomods and the 'generic' things I've done - several times.

I enjoy the research of an existing sytem and then buying/adapting it to fit. It's not as name brand flashy, but it is a hand's on experience, cheaper, and more fun!

I feel that way about people who take their car to a shop and tell them to bolt on the latest and greatest ____________________ (Insert here). Whether it be Engine, transmission, radiator, disc brakes, seats, gages, exhaust, headers, heads, intake, wiring harness, wheels/tires, etc..etc.. You can go broke trying to buy all the items out of the Mustang Monthly magazine.
