Best restoration book

Post by Gudgeon »

We've just acquired a traveller. Both woodwork and bodywork are in need of restoration. Please would someone recommend the best book for doing this work, with lots of detail, etc. Price is not an issue as I want to get this right!
Many thanks.

Practical Classics did a good one some years ago with a particularly well written section on Traveller woodwork which included a step by step replacement guide. That is the book I would recommend.

Lindsays Porter Restoration Manual is a good option, lots of pictures though quite small and balck and white but gives good detail.
