Don Sherman takes readers along step by step through the complete tear-down and painstaking reconstruction of his 1967 Corvette roadster. Detailed photographs accompany Sherman's chronicle each month, chapter by chapter, of the two years it took him to restore the drag-racing beater into a true blue-ribbon beauty. ..".Sherman's book is more anecdotal stories than boring "slide Tab A into Slot B." There's a little of that...there has to be...but mostly the book is full of good advice if you're thinking of trying your own restoration, told in as entertaining a way as possible given the subject matter." Born and raised in Iowa, Don began "driving" at age five in a pedal car he received as a birthday present. By age ten, he was building soapbox racers, fiddling with engines, and converting lawn mowers into go-karts. Delving deeper, Don earned mechanical engineering degrees from the Universities of Iowa and Michigan. He credits his father with guiding him toward an engineering career path, the Army with interrupting that endeavor at Chrysler, and Car and Driver magazine for the opportunity to share his fascination with a million or so readers. Don rose through the ranks at that publication to become its editor from 1985 through 1987. For the last twelve years, Don has filled the gaps in his freelance writing schedule with car and motorcycle restorations. He contributes to Car and Driver, Popular Science, Corvette Quarterly, Sports Car International, Auto Restorer, Quattroruote, and other magazines. The Sherman family garage is tightly packed with a 1960 Cadillac convertible, a 1979 Mazda RX7, a 1939 Ariel Square Four, a 1972 Triumph Daytona, a 1997 Harley-Davidson 883 Sportster, several wheeled toys for sons Carter and Steven, and the subject of this book. In spite of its congested state, Don still calls his garage the best room in the house. Used Book in Good Condition
