How to Build Altered Wheelbase Cars comes from a writer who walks you through the history of the altered wheelbase period then shows how to perform radical modifications. Color photos abound in a survey packed with step-by-step photos for upgrading cars and including coverage of GM, Ford and Mopar projects alike. Any library catering to DIY car enthusiasts will find this a unique, popular lend.

This book is perfect for anyone who does major fabricating on cars. Step by step guidelines to show you the easiest way to alter the wheelbase of your Funny Car or Gasser. Well written with very good illustrations.

Wow This author shows us how they did altered wheelbase cars of the 60s' drag racing era! These are the precursers of the fiberglass funnycars of today. This is a well versed how-to with a lot of pictures to help anyone whether it be a model builder or a full scale car builder how it's done step by step. Many color pictures of the 60s' altered wheelbase cars. A great book by the man on Speed Channel who's asked for info on cars at the Barrett-Jackson Auto auctions.

Very cool read, gets the creative juices flowing, especially if you're a 60's drag racing fan. Good step-by-step info, and they covered GM, Ford, and Mopar. Now, to find an AMC to build...

Steve did a great job of step by step instruction on how to build an AWB car. I had a car for this type of project and after reading the book started the project and have finished the wheelbase modifications. I got many good ideas out of the book. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to build an altered wheelbase car or is interested in the construction of one.

Magneto's enthusiasm and knowledge of this kind of car come shining thru. If you are interested in the history of A/FX, Funny Cars and Factory Drag Racing in the 60's, you need to read this book! And if you want to build a tribute car, the knowledge here is unfindable elsewhere. Well done Steve, Thanks!
