Model A body manual

[mcorrell]

Has anyone written a body specific manual similar to Les Andrews mechanics book volume 1? My car has some questionable assembly on the doors and other areas in the body. It also appears door seals, bumpers, etc. May be missing.

MAFCA has for sale the Coupe Book which compiles articles from The Restorer magazine. It’s got info about all the coupes from 1928 to ‘31. They also sell one dedicated to the Tudor Sedan. Check with the office.

For Phaeton, roadster, and roadster pickup, there is "The Complete Model 'A' Ford Restoration Manual." Les Pearson.


Her also has a second revision that I'm going to assume has additional information along with the old info. Here is the summary of the book,
