## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Extremely helpful information in plain, understandable language from a long term builder and engineer. - Buy it now, and READ IT
  

*by B***N on Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2018*

Absolutely one of the best books for anyone building a hot rod from scratch.  Brent is both a very experienced builder and an engineer.  He has the unique ability to explain complex topics in plain, understandable language.  As a guy who has been building hot rods since the 1970's, I still learned many details to make my next build better, quicker, and more enjoyable.  Highly recommend anyone building a hot rod, low rider, or lifted truck read this book twice or three times to understand suspension before they make a major mistake or highly unsafe decision.  Lastly, Brent makes some very pity recommendations on tools, suppliers (some who are his competitors), and basics which will save you thousands in a quality build.  There are additional books on one facet or the other about building a hot rod or race car which can enhance your knowledge of specific areas of a build, but it is unlikely you will find a better solid foundation for building a hot rod than this book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Good collection
  

*by G***H on Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2018*

This is a well organized collection of Brent's articles from a monthly magazine I've never read.  Some of the info is probably a little dated, other areas are either updated or timeless.  I was looking for more info on suspension (so I bought his other book), but this book is good overview of the whole building process, with enough detail to point you in the right direction.  Really stresses the importance of having a plan early; a vision of what you want the end result to be.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Just ok
  

*by M***S on Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2016*

From the title I thought the book would be a more versatile guide to building hot rods, and while it does explain and help overcome most hot rodders will encounter, it does not explain in great detail the building of a hot rod, rather just problem solving a few situations during a build. Some might find it useful if your encountering those specific problems, but for me it was just ok.
