Shelby AC Cobra Inspired Sports Car Assembly Manual CD-ROM – October 1, 2009

goodIt's great, very big, explain all aspects of assembly. Most important are suggestion and pictures.It's important to read before to start a project

When I saw this "Cobra Inspired Sports Car Assembly Manual", I figured it was worth a try. Well, I am more than pleased. This manual is an excellent reference book. The chapter on completing the electrical system installation alone is worth the cost of the CD. There are excellent, color photos on just about every page. It is full of great information. The text explains how to go about completing each assembly. The photos show the work being accomplished.I am seriously considering building a Cobra inspired sports car, probably a FF kit. I borrowed a copy of a build manual from a friend to see what I am about to get into. I was somewhat disappointed in that handbook. It would be nice to have more pictures that are not so fuzzy. Better organized and less confusing instructions would be appreciated. This Cobra inspired sports car manual fills the bill.I was apprehensive about buying a CD-ROM instead of a book, but after getting this manual, it is actually easier to use than thumbing through a book. I like this CD based format. The PDF files of this manual is just like using the OEM Ford service manuals at the dealerships, except all of these photos are in color. When you start, all of the Cobra assembly manual chapters are shown as bookmarks in the LH margin of the screen. You just mouse-click the chapter that you want and the individual topics of the chapter are broken out to select from. This is really easy. I think that this author has created the first modern automotive assembly manual.This book was well done and is worthwhile. It was also about half the cost of the manual that my friend bought. There is a supplement section that lists kit manufacturers along with companies that sell parts and accessories plus links to their websites. If you are considering building a Cobra kit, or are building a kit now, or already have a car built, you will benefit from the information that you will learn from this manual. You will go back to read this book again and again because it has so much good information.I give this manual five stars.

It's nice CD if your assembling a factory five. Otherwise it has limited information that useful for assembling other kits.

Really very good help to built an AC COBRA with a basic Kit and a good idea of what is a COBRA

I bought the item thinking it was a hardcopy manual, but turn out to be a c.d.
