Default Fiberglass repair manual

Has anyone purchased the Eckler's fiberglass repair manual? Is it worth the money? Now that I have all the suspension done on my vette and it is sitting on the ground I am going to start preparing the body. I don't have any real bad areas just pin holes and small cracks through out. I bought all of my supplies Monday. Any last words of advice or warning before I start sanding,grinding,bonding,filling, etc? :smash:

Sand, yes. Grind? I wouldn't. I have Eckler's book and waited a long, long time for it. Eckler had trouble getting it to the printer so it was not available for a long time after they first listed it in their catalogue. It's helpful. I also have the Glas-Ra series for Sharks. Pricey, but also helpful.

Ecklers book is well worth the $$$$$. Buy it and you won't be disappointed.
