Wayne Snyder said Not what was expected. Not nearly the information as expected, very little general content. "Very comprehensive foundation to building a hot rod" according to a reader. I just finished reading Hot Rod Body and Chassis Builder's Guide. This latest hot rod book from Motorbooks has raised the bar yet again. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned pro, this book is a must have for your hot rod building library. This book offers plenty of practical advice for choosing an appropriate suspension system for the look and ride that you want from your hot rod. It also gives sound advice for resurrecting a vintage chassis or body. Simply a must have for your library.. ctkid343w ctkid343w Great book. One of my top three books for hot rod chassis building. Excellent first book to purchase. Buy this & Boyd Coddington's Hot Rod Engines, Drivelines & Chassis and also Street Rodders Chassis & Suspensioun Handbook. These three are all you will need. They don't try to cover everything (chassis, drivelines, engines, body, interior, mock up, assembly) and the result is far more detail on chassis & body.
“Dennis Parks has authored a number of books on building hot rods, but his latest, the Hot Rod Body and Chassis Builder’s Guide, has to be the most comprehensive yet!” – Rod & Custom
