Review
I'm a complete novice to the world of hot rodding, and my actual interest is building electric cars. What makes this book so great in my opinion is that the author starts at the beginning and challenges you to pin down what you really want to build and challenges you to plan it out a little better. The reality check of a price list for all the components of a hot rod is really great. I love the color pictures. Most other books are black and white, and the cars look crapy. Not here, the paint jobs and interiors are shown in full glory. The tech sections are great, and show everything in great detail. For example, the 'how to install an independent front suspension' section has 17 color pictures, over 5 pages, with generous text under each picture. The whole process is explained very well. The only thing where coverage is lacking is the engine, but that's good in my opinion. Including it would have made the book much bigger and expensive. There are other books out there that cover just the engine. Here it's pretty much 'mount the engine', and that's it. The author does recommend to test it on a stand first, which seems like a good idea. The whole book contains a lot of ideas and methods that only someone that's actually done the work knows. Highly recommended. --Kustom Karz
I'm really glad that I read this book before I started building a hot rod. In addition to all of the technical advice, it prompted me to ask myself some important questions about what I really wanted to build. The layout of the book is very good and is very well written and illustrated. Unlike most magazine articles and other books, it even has a pretty thorough listing of parts and prices for a sample hot rod. That gave me a good place to start when I was trying to figure how much my hot rod would cost to build. All in all I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in building or having a hot rod built. --Midwest Book review
