You can do better,
This review is from: How to Build Hot Rod Chassis (Motorbooks Workshop) (Paperback)
For the price, this is too simple and basic a book. It's limited in terms of a very few vendors and a limited number of car types primarilly pre-1940 hot rods. Sometimes it's almost like a protracted ad for "SO-CAL" products. You can get as good or better information and advice by looking through old issues of "Street Rodder" and "Hot Rod" magazines.

This review is from: How to Build Hot Rod Chassis (Motorbooks Workshop) (Paperback)
This is an assembly manual for a So-Cal chassis kit. I was looking fo a manual on how to design a hot rod chassis. This is definitely not that!! Very little information about details or design criteria. Unless you bought a So-Cal chassis kit, spend your money elsewhere.
