The Restoration Handbook

The Restoration Handbook is an auto shop management product available on the Whop marketplace, created by Garage HQ and launched in September 2026.

Two people can restore the same car to the same standard and be twenty thousand apart on what it cost. The difference is almost never skill with a spanner. It is the decisions made before the spanner comes out. The Restoration Handbook is 89 pages on those decisions, in five parts. **Before you buy.** Why the cheapest car in the listings is almost always the most expensive to finish. Where to look on a shell for the rust that matters, and how to read a previous repair. Why you check the parts supply before you check the car. **Before you touch it.** Choosing your standard and writing it down, because driver quality and concours are the same car at three times the hours. Rolling restoration against full teardown. What a real budget looks like, including the lines people leave out. **Order of work.** The sequence, strip to road test, and the three rules people break every time. Why the order costs more jobs than the welding. **Other people.** What is worth sending out, how to choose a shop, and how to read a quote before you commit. **Finishing.** Why projects stall around month nine, what to do if yours has, and why the file of receipts and photos is part of the car. Written for someone starting a build or in the middle of one. Short chapters, plain language, no filler. Read it before you spend the next thousand. **What you get.** 89 pages, PDF. Read it on the laptop, the phone, or print it for the garage. One payment, no subscription, yours to keep.

The Restoration Handbook has is priced at $29 (one-time payment).
