Book Reviews of How to Restore and Modify Your Corvette, 1968-1982 (Motorbooks Workshop)
Book Review: Author lacks in-depth knowledge of his subject
Summary: 2 Stars
If you are new to Corvettes and restoring them, beware that the author probably has little better knowledge than you do on the subject other than going through one project himself, which hardly makes anyone an expert.
If you are not new to them, you don't need this book.
The book is filled with: dubious, almost flippant advice "..the softest possible (suspension) spring should be the best"; blatant omissions (discusses the merits of numbers-matching 'vettes but doesn't even mention the multitude of fraudulently stamped motors in the market; and incorrect statements "As horsepower and rpms increase, torque decreases."
The book does have good pictures and diagrams, just be careful reading it.
