I started keeping the signed off copies along with receipts for the parts to sort of keep up with what I have done and if the parts do have any warranty or such, I got everything associated with it together in a separate binder. Makes it all a lot simpler. Also take pics as you go, before , during and after major steps to use as a reference.

I did not always do this, but I have started that on this one. I figure on keeping this one a while. I bought an original 1973 Mustang El Grande that the original owner worked for NASA and he had a logbook that showed each and every adjustment and replacement. He would even record things like: Turned carb idle screw 1/4 turn clockwise. Dated it and signed it.

At the time I worked as a Manufacturing Engineer then a Reliability Engineer on the Cruise Missile Program, so I was accustomed to detailed work instructions ans signed off documentation. I don't go to that extreme, but I do try to keep up with it.
