Chassis assembly manual

[smh00n]

As I have never worked on a Mustang, is a manual like this one a good investment? I can swing a wrench fine but know nothing about how these things go together and although I will work it out perhaps some nice pictures may be faster?

IMO Yes, absolutely.

If you are restoring all the FAMs are great value for a pretty low cost.

If you are really into "correct" the AMK Guide to Ford Fasteners is a good addition to tae the part number out of the FAM and figure out what's what if you are missing bits.

I bought the cd with all the factory manuals for your year on it through npd. It was $50US from memory. Very handy to have.

I have the factory manuals, repo in book form. Is that all I will need then?

The Shop Manual is different, more comprehensive but a lot of written word to support a trained tech.

The Factory Assembly Manuals are exploded view docs used to show the line assembly workers how to put the car together.

Both good resources, but if I had a choice and had to pick one, I'd take the FAM over the Shop Manual ... I use the FAM easily 10-20x as often as the shop manual...

Mert, you've sold me
