Need a restoration manuel for my 69 mach1

[james the flame 11]

What is the best book or at least "a" book on how to restore my 1969 Mach 1 ??? I have one that only goes to 1968. I wouldn't have to bug you guys so much if I had a manuall Even a repair manual would work. Just can't seem to find a source for our year model. Thanks, James

The shop manuals are invaluable and every hobby person should own a set, far superior to the typical haynes or chiltons type you find in your basic parts store. They really are only helpful to trouble shoot issues or how to repair something specific though.

 

Are you looking more for a start to finish guide on how to go through and restore your entire car and the order in which to do it? Or just the repair manuals?

I'm sure he would really appreciate that. Good luck with your plan. I'll stick to mine. But I'm sure I'll still be asking him a lot of questions. Have a classic day, James

There is NO one book that "tells all".

There is a "how to restore your mustang" book but like said it is general stuff, the same stuff that you can get in the service manuals. The service manual is the "Bible" to restore your '69. It has everything that is mostly needed. Then what the service manual lacks the other listed books will fill-in the gaps.

What I would suggest you do is the same I did when I first got my car, that is spend a few days eating your lunch if you have to at your local Barnes & Noble and browse through the enormous and overwhelming selction of books on Mustangs, spot read a few and decide which ones you like the best and buy them. I ended up really liking this one as a general how and where to start book: http://www.amazon.com/Mustang-Restoration-Handbook-Don-Taylor/dp/0895864029/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_b

 

I also liked this one for my engine build, some things are outdated with all of todays after market support but I was still going for more of an old school low budget build anyway: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/How-to-Build-Max-Performance-Ford-V8-on-a-Budget_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ34220QQihZ004QQitemZ140226009286

 

I actually did the same process 2 years prior when I was looking to buy my Mustang, reading all the books really helped me avoid buying some bad cars, the very first one I bought was this one: http://www.amazon.com/Illustrated-Mustang-Buyers-Guide/dp/0879389362/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1208963056&sr=1-11

 

I'll bet if I went back to that Barnes & Noble where I was living at the time that the seat I used almost daily still has my ass print in it. Certain books speak differently to people so it's really a good idea to test drive a few first as not everyone finds the same info helpful.

 

BTW, one day soon I plan to get UnrulySB chasing after that broken johnson rod and trying to fix his muffler bearings himself so stay your course James!

i recemmond this book for rebuilding your engine...http://www.amazon.com/HP-Books-HP89-Rebuild-Small-Block/dp/B000PI5QUQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=automotive&qid=1209021472&sr=8-2

 

the Tom Monroe books are far superior to the Georg Reid books IMO, i use my copy every time i build an engine and i've yet to go wrong using his books, though any more i just use it for the torque specs

Well of course not bud, you would have to have one first before it could be broken, little girly man. Nowadays it's just a surgery away though, so it may be money better sent then on those rims you want. If you don't get the new brakes you may even be able to get a set of matching balls at the same time, they can come in handy.:tongue_smilie:
