### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Very simple. Old technology
  

*by M***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 20, 2023*

You can use older materials, but hoped for newer information.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Really great book
  

*by T***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 2, 2003*

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.

    The same as Boyd Coddingtons - but a little better.
  

*by G***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 3, 2009*

Boyd Coddingtons Hopw to Build a Hot rod" is a 99% word for word copy of of this and you won't notice unless you read the fine print at the top of the page. A few photo's have been changed (same cars in different colours) and some big pictures have been added between chapters. I think this "the original" is better as it has an extra paragraph here and there and also has some costs that are not included in this version. Boyd Coddington had nothing to do with the other book except writing the intro. Although a really good book it is not really that comprehensive, they show you how to build certain types of chassis.  As an intro to rods even if you are not building this book is easy to read and a good read at that. I did like "How to Build a Traditional For Hot Rod" by Mike Bishop and Vern Tardel is not as pretty and although at first I didn't like it,  after more reading I found it has a lot more detail.
