Ronald, Mr. Rehor is, as they say, "A legend in his own time". David authored the first book published by the club, a thin book on the same subject, '32 fords, and had been working on the current 2 volume set of books ever since. In David's own words, it was his "life's work". By way of introduction to the flathead era of Fords, these books top anything else you could read. I consider them a prerequisite read for anyone considering delving into the restoration/preservation of a Ford of that, or later Ford cars: To read the books covering both before and after the (model year) car you are working on can give you a perspective of Ford Methods and the progression and evolution of required mechanical changes in production beyond the written word, actually to the point that you yourself become something of a Ford expert. It is this acquired knowledge that enables you to understand and appreciate your Pride and Joy more than you could have imagined prior to your reading them.
