About this product

Product Information

The ever-escalating cost of building or buying a hot rod is leaving more and more would-be hot rodders behind. This book will get those hopefuls off the sidelines by showing how a hot rod can be built for less than the cost of, say, a new Hyundai. Author Dennis Parks documents his own project--building a quintessentially cool Model T roadster from a Track-T kit--showing in step-by-step detail how to turn a pile of parts into a rockin hot rod. He provides a detailed, easy-to-follow guide for building a car of your own. The advice and instructions cover every aspect of an affordable hot rod build, from establishing the target vehicle and budget, to finding parts, building the car, and fine tuning the finished vehicle on the road. With Parks' money-saving tips and photo-supported how-to sequences, virtually anyone with minimal mechanical skills and the will to use them can be sure of building their hot rod right, and for the right price. The book also includes a full resource guide and recommendations for further reading.

Great book for anyone building a vintage car
Good basic book with lots of pictures and good advice. It's detailed enough to get you started. The scope is limited to the main project car the author is building but most of the ideas are universal. All in all it was a great purchase and builds on my library. It's a book that'll get read and re-read as I pursue different projects of my own.

Not enough information for a beginner.
Not a good book for the beginner. Did not go into enough detail imformation. I myself could not build a hot rod from this book. No mention of any chassis measurements or size detail plus the hot rod being built is not the type I would build.
