The Ford Barn - View Single Post - 1938-39 Ford Book Question(s)

Hi all,

I'm not real active on the Ford Barn but you guys have answered some of my previous questions (and thanks, again for that)(I'm more active on the HAMB). That said, I've got a couple questions for you. I'm potentially interested in the following book from the Ford V8 club:

https://shop.efv8.org/products/1938-...book-softbound

My questions are: What are the differences between a restoration guide and a repair manual? (I'm building a 1938 Ford Club cabriolet...I have a build thread going on the HAMB if anyone has an interest in the project...

https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/...hread.1214234/ )

Does this book go into any detail on convertible top and convertible top frame install, adjustments etc.? If not, where might one find this type of information (none of the repair manuals that I've come across have it)?

Thank you again in advance.
