This book shows how a great hot rod car can be built on a modest budget, rather than spending a fortune buying and tweaking one! No more being at the mercy of salesman, paying inflated prices; the ability to build your favorite car to your specifications now lies in your reach! Author Dennis Parks documents his own building project - a "Track T" kit roadster - showing in step-by-step detail how to turn a pile of parts into a high-performance, cool hot rod, and provides detailed step-by-step guide to building a car of your own. Park's advice and instructions cover every aspect of the affordable Hot Rod, from establishing a target vehicle and budgeting, finding the parts, building the car, and fine tuning the finished vehicle on the road. There is a full resource guide included.
