Gm performance

Let me lead off by saying that I bought this book used for $1.00 and all in it cost me $5.00 with shipping which was too much for what it offers.

I have restored my share of Muscle Cars over the years and I am fairly skilled when it comes to 68-72 GM A bodies. This book should have been titled 101 "suggestions" not projects. There is absolutely not enough information within any of these projects to give you a feel or guidance to what you are getting yourself into.

For example, there is one project titled upholstery. For laughs, it has a time frame indicator of a few hours (I don't have the book in front of me, but I think it quoted 2 hours labor) and the only pictures it shows is the bottom of a seat to show where the hog rings are and another to show you a pair of hog ring pliers. It is a total of two pages long. If anyone reading this has ever attempted replacing seat covers, you know it can take 2 hours to carefully disassemble a bucket seat, let alone clean, repair and begin replacing the covers. I have seen more in depth information in magazine articles. I didn't even bother reading the sections on engine and head rebuilding and I hope no one else gearing up for such a project does either.

I realize you may have another opinion of this book, but I can honestly say that of all the literature on restorations I have bought over the years, this was positively useless.


Editorial Review :: It’s nearly 40 years since the peak of the muscle car era, but the passion for building high performance into American cars of the 1960–1980s has not ebbed. No clan of muscle cars is more popular than those produced by General Motors, especially models such as the Camaro, Chevelle, GTO, Cutlass, Skylark, Tempest, Impala, Monte Carlo, and El Camino. They remain popular, in demand, and are still driven hard by owners with a need for speed.

Like other titles in the "101" series, this book spells out a wealth of do-it-yourself projects for the performance-hungry muscle car owner. The book presents detailed coverage of procedures performed on specific GM cars of the muscle car era. These are projects that can realistically be done by a detail-minded shade tree mechanic rather than requiring master builder skills and tools. Engine, transmission, and suspension performance modifications are covered in detail, as are cosmetic steps such as interior and sheet metal restoration.
