3 out of 5 stars Build a Traditional Ford Hot Rod   July 10, 2010
M. Hall (Phoenix)
Overall, I like the book but I have two complaints:

1) The book glosses over some of the most technical items. Information on adapting steering and rear suspension are minimal. More pictures and diagrams for these would have helped.

2) The editing or print job is terrible, at least in my copy. Pictures are missing or misplaced, irrelevant to the chapter, or have been chopped in half. I wish I had a few pictures referenced but not found.

Very good, detailed illustration of building a traditional Ford hot rod using period parts. Interesting just for the historical view.


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.
