Geared toward Models A, but usefull for ALL hot rods,
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Build a Hot Rod Model A Ford (Paperback)
Although this book follows the construction of a Model A, much of the information is extremely relevant to all makes and models of hot rods. If you are contemplating building a hot rod of any sort, but especially a Model A, this book will be very helpful. Informative text, along with good photos make this step by step documentation of a hot rod's buildup a must have for any hot rodders book collection.

How to or Editorial?,
This review is from: How to Build a Hot Rod Model A Ford (Paperback)
This is a nicely put together book but it is filled with much more opinion than how to articles with one paragraph explinations of such items as rear ends. I didnt say the opinions are bad its just that this book should not have "How to" in the title. I was disappointed.

Basic, Street Rod Opinion,
By Hot Rod Teacher (Michigan, USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: How to Build a Hot Rod Model A Ford (Paperback)
This book gives a very basic overview of the construction of a Model A street rod. There is a big difference between a street rod and a hot rod. This book covers the build up of a street rod, the author extols the virtues of the small block Chevy, run flat tires(?!), and billet wheels. There is very little actual how-to in this book, it consists mostly of opinion, and questionable opinion at that.
If you want to build a real hot rod and spend significantly less check out "How to Build a Traditional Ford Hot Rod" by Vern Tardel and Mike Bishop.
