This book tells you how to put a kit together. It has nothing to do with building a street rod from an actual Ford Car. The title misrepresents the contents.

Nice photos etc. However, the detail is no more than what you would find if you've read any of the major magazines like Street Rodder, Rod & Custom and others. If you are brand new to the hobby or are building a fiberglass rod (and I have nothing against a glass car) it is a fine book. If you are looking for something that explains the problem areas of a steel car, how to avoid or overcome issues with a body or frame that is over 70 years old, this book is a total waste of money and time. I did find an acceptable use for the book instead of returning it, the 14 year old kid down the street was very interested in my newly acquired 40 Ford Coupe, he thought the book was a wonderful gift so it worked well as promotion of the hot rodding culture.

Very little useful info. Had ordered another book on Model A's put out by Street Rodder and was expecting the same helpful kind of book. Very disappointing!
