You can have a great selection of tools from
a wrench, drill press to a lathe, but if you don't have
the literature that will show you what the end product
is supposed to look like, and will enable it to function
correctly, you might as well be building a "custom"
and not an original. If originality means anything to
you, start at the beginning and prepare for doing your
restoration correctly.
Brochures from dealerships are a good first-start. But
to get the details right you must get hold of the literature
that was not given out at the dealerships. This
is the literature that was probably tucked away in a
salesman's desk or out in the shop where the mechanics
worked. Make sure you have the paint & upholstery
books, technical data books and manuals before you grab
that screwdriver.
