Teddy,

Welcome to the Forums and welcome to the hobby! The other replies have pointed out several good sources for information from Kalmbach Publishing.

Welcome, Teddy. What car model did you build, and how did it come out?

In addition to online resources and books, don't forget to check into any local modelling clubs.
