Restoration Advice

I own a 1966 mustang that needs somewhat of an overhaul; I am looking
for recommendations for a shop that can perform interior restoration,
exterior painting, as well as fix my brakes. Does anyone know of any
reputable shops in the South Jersey/Philadelphia area?

Can't help ya with that area, but as for brakes, I'd say just grab a
manual (even a Haynes manual) and have at'er.. Nothing to em at all..

Thanks. Can you recommend a good brakes manual?

Brakes are pretty easy, any manual should cover them.. I used to use
Chiltons for my fiero when I had no idea how to do em.. You need to
replace calipers and rotor and lines and the whole shebang, or just the
pads? I'd say check out your local library and see if they have a Haynes
manual kickin around..

Make sure you bleed them too and test them good before you're rolling if
you attempt though.. I don't want a smashed mustang or worse on my
conscience..

two words, Shop Manuals. If you own an old car, you need them. unless you
can aford to farm everything out. I can't. The shop manual set was the
second thing I bought when i decided to go old school. they are priceless.

Never had a problem with the brakes, besides the lines when I picked it
up.. Clutch on the other hand, is the reason I sold it..

I bought the manuals first! Now, I'm looking for the car.

Take a look on eBay and/or you can do a google search for them. I'd try
keywords like "shop manual" and "1966 mustang".
