427 - Practical Restoration of a '67 Roadster by Don Sherman
Corvette 427-Practical Restoration of a '67 Roadster is ideal for anyone
interested in learning what really goes into classic auto restoration.
The 1967 427 Corvette roadster is a classic sportscar and highly sought
after by collectors and enthusiasts. Don Sherman is a well-known and well-respected
automotive writer. Corvette 427-Practical Restoration of a '67 Roadster
brings together these two veterans in a unique book.
Sherman himself performed most of the work on the car, with an eye
to restoring his Corvette as a practical road car as well as a show car.
Sherman shares every aspect of his frame-up restoration including what
worked, what didn't , and what almost did-like the several different brands
of Corvette idler arms that he tried until he got the one that really made
the difference in the car's steering. With detailed photographs and a storyteller's
talent for anecdote, Sherman chronicles each month, chapter by chapter,
of the two years it took to restore a former drag-racing beater into a
streetable blue-ribbon beauty. Focusing on a practical restoration, Don
goes through the adaptations and hard decisions necessary to make a classic
car a joy to drive, while staying true to the original designs of the factory.
Amateur auto restorers,classic car fans, and Corvette lovers alike will
appreciate this sometimes ecstatic, sometimes painful, and ultimately rewarding
tale of what a dedicated enthusiast did for love, and will celebrate along
with him the glorious results of a restoration beautifully done. Don Sherman
provides the valuable practical information that only comes from hands-on
experience-information that will make any restoration much easier and much
more fun!
