Re: Restoration Guidelines & Judging Standards
Just finished reading the Tex Smith autobiography Inside Hot Rodding that was published by Grafitti Publications in Castlemaine Victoria. It would seem that MAFCA and MARC could license the RG&GS to a company like Graffiti so that it could be sold at a reasonable cost down under. Their email is [email protected]. Be forewarned that this company does publish titles like Hot Rodding International and (gasp) Austrailian Street Rodding.

As for the book its self, whether it's a find point or just a driver the book can be of great assistance is the restoration of your A. Examples, What stanchions were used on a certain year roadster, what are the differences in the frames between the years, where is the serial number stamped? If you have before you a couple of the same parts, which would have appeared on my car when new? And so on. It is often just as easy to place the "correct" part in your car then it is any part, so why not the "correct" part. I offered to buy the book off of a member here on Fordbarn if after getting it he felt it was a waste of money, he did not take me up on it. Admit it, we all have wasted much more then the cost of the book for far less. Get it, you will not be disappointed.

Re: Restoration Guidelines & Judging Standards
I've never noticed it but do people that have the guidelines use it to ID and list parts by proper month? Will it help sell parts? Bob

Re: Restoration Guidelines & Judging Standards
That is one of the reasons I use it. I don't know if it will help in selling parts unless it's a rare part.

Re: Restoration Guidelines & Judging Standards
It has helped me on several occasions in Hershey to sell a part, as the correct application was able to be determined on the spot.

Re: Restoration Guidelines & Judging Standards
I found it of more use to somebody trying to get a trophy but still, it is difficult to turn down any book that educates us about our cars. And the pictures/diagrams of parts that were changed or altered in production is always interesting. Obviously the Company continually studied the car for improvement on its components and, I daresay, took input from owners and repair shops very seriously.

Re: Restoration Guidelines & Judging Standards
If you really want to get burned, there's a used one (1997) on Amazon for $75 + $4 for shipping.
