Monster Garage turns ordinary vehicles into mind-bending machines like the "Doom Buggy," a Mazda RX-7 converted into a sand dragster, the Ford Explorer converted into a garbage truck, and an ambulance converted into a wheelie machine. Jesse James and his crew will tap the experts used on the number one Discovery Channel show, Monster Garage, to create a comprehensive guide to customizing your car, motorcycle, mini-van, pick-up truck, toaster, . . . you get the idea. Each section will take you through the process of creating a Monster custom, from planning the project, through building custom bodywork, to adding bolt-on bits and custom paint. The techniques are explained through illustrated diagrams, formulas when necessary, and step-by-step original and Monster Garage archival photographs.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Nice picture book...,
By R. Simmonds "Life doesn't need me to help it ... (Kapiti, New Zealand) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Monster Garage: How to Customize Damn Near Anything (Paperback)
...but not very useful for anything else. Monster Garage's How to Customize Damn Near Anything is nothing more than the best bits from the other three books in the series: Fabricate, Weld and Paint. But if you consider that the oher three books aren't up to par, the "best bits" do not amount to much. It's not even of interest to Monster Garage fans as, like the other three books, there is nary a mention of Monster Garage or Jesse James.
