Default Restomod information

I was digging around the net and ran across this. You restomod types might be interested in it.

Here are the ones most of us know about, but maybe a noob would be interested.

lol me too, but if you need a book to show you how to make your car your own, then you got no business in a classic mustang

Obviously I haven't read the book, but it never hurts to read how to do something the right way the first time. I always use books like this as just a guide whether it is building a deck onto the house, or starting a new lawn. There might be something in there that you would have never thought about, but strikes you as a good idea and one that you want to incorporate into your project.

"Popular Hot Roding Magazine, October 2005
"This book is a wealth of information on how to turn your run-of-the-mill car into a corner-craving g-Machine. If you have a Ford and want to give it the pro-touring treatment, then this is the best $20 you could spend."[/align]
Book Description

How to Build Ford Restomod Street Machines shows you how to modify your vintage Ford to accelerate, stop, corner, and ride as good as - if not better than - Detroit's best new high-performance cars. Don't subject your classic Ford to a life of garage time, trailer rides, outdated factory-original performance, and the occasional Sunday cruise - build it to run hard. Author Tony Huntimer uses over 300 photos to show you how to upgrade your engine, drivetrain, chassis, suspension, body, and interior to make your ride a stand-out performer using factory and aftermarket parts. He even covers many Ford-specific upgrades, including the Granada brake swap and the popular Shelby Mod."[/align][/align]Just for us Glen? Dang... it brings a tear to mah eye....[/align][/align]

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.
