Default All inclusive restoration guide.

I am looking for a book that describes(w/ pics) how everything goes together, what wires go where, how many and type of fasteners for every part, etc....

Doesn't exist. First book you should buy is the original FORD SHOP Manual followed by the set of Assembly Manuals. NPD or any of the other vendors carry these.

That would be a large book... or most of a DVD.

Adrenolin is right. This stuff is year-specific and VERY complete. Covers every repair but rust. For fasteners, get the "show correct" stuff from a good vendor. Actually not much more than generic fasteners. For finish on specific parts, the MCA rules and forums like this.

New question: when I am welding stuff in, should I use my MIG(very inexperienced at using) or some other method?

Mig....
I'm not experienced either in welding, but I got a 140 Hobart handler that i will be learning to use so I can weld up my '65 Mustang.

Get the Year appropriate Ford shop manual and get all 5 or 6 of the Ford factory assembly guide manuals for your car as well. Those will be as close as you will get to an "all inclusive" book.

The assembly manuals are a must have. They have the original ford part numbers for the connectors ect so all you have to do is Google the part number and you find what you need. For example i needed to fin out the thread pitch of a specific U nut was, goggled the p/n in the manual and bingo.
Electrical is another story, I went the Ron Francis way for a custome install, but the wiring diagrams in the manuals are a life saver.
