Datsun 240-280Z (1:1) restoration book revision soon

[Wickersham Humble]

Datsun 240Z to 280Z restoration manual "HOW TO RESTORE YOUR DATSUN Z-CAR (California Bill's Automotive Handbooks, Tucson AZ, orig. 1991) by modeler Wick Humble will be coming out in a completely revised text edition in 2021.  We have added new and updated information, and digitally enhanced the original photos for greater clarity.  I has been in print since 1991, but this is the first update, reflecting the changing resto scene, etc.  This is not a modification manual, but oriented, as before, toward an original, factory-fresh restoration, and covers all the basics -- plus it has an appendix of parts-book drawings with call-out descriptions/nomenclature.  For anyone building a 'stock' Z-Car model, this is a good source of information.  Race/rally cars are not within the compass of the text; they would deserve a book all to themselves, of course.  CA Bill's has books on race mods and mechanical details available.  The revised edition will have a bright red 1970 240Z on the cover.  Please ignore the semi-mullet and 'eighties dress in some photos (there have been comments online!)  the book was first begun in 1984!

Author Wick Humble has been active in building scale models since age eight, in 1953, and at age 75, has a bunch of Z kits still to tackle!
