Dave,
The Model A Mechanics Handbook does not cover body assembly.I have not located a book that covers assembly, maybe we should write one.

: : The book you mentioned does it cover body assembly? I am building a 1930 2 door and haven't found a good detailed manual. By the way I have been working on this car for three years and it's not running!!! It takes time. I almost think it more fun finding the parts.
: Dave..
: : Most every Model A'er has been there before.If you buy a show car you will have little reason to learn.Remember time is on your side, take your time and enjoy the restoration project.I just purchased my first Model A two weeks ago.It is a good driver, but it still needs upgrading.I have aquired many excellent books over the past year.The following books I highly recommend.Yes, I own many many more.
