5 out of 5 stars Best Tool Beside Your Tools   March 2, 2010
J. Martinez (Santa Ana, CA USA)
I am using this book to teach me terms and skills that I otherwise wouldn't know. I do have experience working on cars. This is my first year working on a hot rods at a shop. I am part of a group of guys working to build hot rods for a future club(hopefully soon). Now that I am building my own I needed to be well versed before I start to build. This is great for someone with some knowledge about cars.

5 out of 5 stars Great Period Correct magazine   June 29, 2009
Scott H. Peterson (Salt Lake City)
I thouroughly enjoyed reading this book cover to cover. Although I was hoping for a broader "traditional hot rodder" approach to building a rod, this magazine gave great depth on how to build a totally correct rod using correct parts from start to finish. Great read, I would recomend to anyone who is into hot rods.

I found this book to contain a lot of information on how to build hot rods as I built them in the 50's & 60's. The book could go into more depth
in the area of using what parts were available in those days. I was happy to see information that goes back to old school and away from the fiberglass, mustang front ends etc. that anyone can build from kits etc. I wish there were more old school information that we were able to get from the Hot Rod magazines of the 50's/60's. Perhaps someone could re-publish the articles from the old mags so could build a true 50's/60's Ford hot Rod. This book is as close as I have found to what little information still exists.
