I don't remember buying mine, I think it was a pirated copy that a customer gave me  :thinking:

Not sure I'd mention that on a public forum, especially with the author being a member on here.  :alan2cents:

What's it matter if somebody gave me their copy ? :huh: Because I didn't pay for it ? :clueless:

Wonder if it is quick shipping.

Thanks for the link.  I just order a copy.

We shall see.  They were quick to post get a USPS tracking number and send that out.  So I am hopeful.

They mention on their site that the fastener book also covers general assembly; I wonder if that part is copied from the Mopar factory manuals or built from scratch?  I ask only because for instance the factory Body Manual I have can be pretty vague on written instruction; it actually reminds me of assembly instructions you get from things made in China... written in broken english and omitting steps :huh:  If they wrote it from scratch from a restorer's perspective it's got to be way better :bigthumb:
Is it?

:wrenching:

The manual is very good and I used mine throughout the restoration process. It does not include detailed assembly instructions though. Great reference photos and detailed descriptions of the fasteners used. The "general assembly" comment is truly general. The Chrysler service manual (located on this site under Resources) should be used for detailed assembly instructions.

If you're asking me ? The one I have is just nuts and bolts, nothing to do with assembly like the newer versions..

Sorry, yes since you said you had one.  I was going off the website where it says "E Body (Challenger and Barracuda) 1970-74 Reference Manual. Guide to Fasteners and General Assembly (FMEX)"  I was referring to "General Assembly".

Thanks!

Got it.  So it took a total of about 3 days to get.  So that was nice and fast in my opinion.

I'm going to have questions though so I will start a thread on that in the appropriate place.

got mine too, an absolute must have 100%. my only semi-complaint so far is intro page 7-5 is the B-bodies page, not the E-bodies page
Growing older is mandatory...growing up is optional.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Very much (E-body) assembly information as they mention in their catalog?

LOTS of great info and pictures to go with. not sure I could put it back together correctly without it and it will help me hunt down all the correct size nuts/bolts
