As with building any car, the chassis is the first step - get this wrong on a hot rod and the car won't handle well, and may possible even destroy itself. Next is the body, and this is what everyone sees and makes a hot rod a hot rod. This title walks the reader through the process of building the hot rod of a car.
You're building a hot rod. The first step is the chassis. If it's not right, the car won't handle well. If it's really not right, the car might destroy itself. Next is the body. This is what everyone sees first, and it's what makes a hot rod a hot rod. Veteran builder and writer Dennis Parks walks you through the whole process, whether you're modifying a '32 Ford or building a chassis from scratch, finding and using existing body panels or choosing New Old Stock panels from the aftermarket. The "Hot Rod Body and Chassis Builder's Guide" offers foolproof advice for building the hot rod of your dreams.
