restoration: Relevant Articles

[tsterkel 0]

Ok,

Despite the fact that I am still suffering from ADD (Avanti Deficiency Disorder), I am researching restoration for the Avanti. I have come up with the "Auto Restorer" (previously "Classical Auto Restorer" magazine).

Questions:

1. Is this a good magazine at $41 a year to get into the general and specifics?

2. Are there Avanti specific back issues that I should be looking for '63 - '7? that would be relevant to the '63-'64?

3. The potentially useful back issues I have come up with are below. Any judgement on which are useful in my context?

while I don't subscribe to it, my dad has for many years. it uesed to be in a magazine format, but is now closer to a newsletter. The good news is that it's all great restoration info and pretty much no advertisements. I've seen occasional stude or avanti info, but it's mostly big 3 info. For Avanti-specific info, I'd get as many of the Avanti magazine backorders as I could find - especially for post-stude info.
