The thing I liked most about this book was it showed how to build a car by hand, out of your garage using basic materials that anyone can get. No high tech stuff. Pictures look like they are out of the 60's but that didn't bother me.
Just a little advice. not all resins are the same(I use only laminateing resin). I use tap plastic's resin. Its a little more expensive than some but I know it hasn't been sitting on the shelf for very long and I like how it changes color when the hardener starts to kick in. I know I have about 30 minutes more time before it starts to harden when that happens. I don't use finishing resin.
Once you find one that works best for you stick with it. I have bought some here in town because it was cheaper and was easy to get ahold of but after opening it and seeing the condition of it I took it back.

Sounds good.
Don't leave out the other talent we have here. Nic and Yaughn have done one hell of a job glassing on their cars. They are full of info also.
