Look Elsewhere!,
By 37 Coupe (Canyon City, OR United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Street Rodder Chassis & Suspension HP1346 (Paperback)
This book does an extremely poor job describing important topics in chassis and suspension repair, modifications and upgrades. Only brief paragraphs are dedicated to such topics as boxing frames, while entire subjects, such as frame-rail repair, are completing missing. Far from being a "how-to" book for the average do-it-yourself, home rod builder, it is simply a "how-to" install various after-market kits offered by some of Street Rodder's well know advertisers. Although the book is billed as a "Chassis and Suspension Handbook", it spends as much time on wiring and other topics as it does on the advertised subjects. The average, do-it-yourselfer better look someplace else if you want a how-to manual. However, if you are installing a Mustang II IFS or one of the other numerous kits constantly touted in the magazine, then by all means pick up this book. In fact, save yourself some money and buy my copy---only slightly used.

Street Rodder's Chassis & Suspension Handbook,
By Steve Waterston (Hamilton, ON Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Street Rodder Chassis & Suspension HP1346 (Paperback)
I certainly would not recommend this book as the only book to read if you wait to set out to design a chassis although it is good for telling you the theory of light chassis mods to existing chassis. There are no complex calculations in the book so if you expect to build a chassis from scratch, look for another book. It is a handbook and definitely not an engineering resource.

Not good for beginer and no details,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Street Rodder Chassis & Suspension HP1346 (Paperback)
Information outdated and no details. If you want to build a chassis or a suspension package that is not 30 years old look somewhere else. You can find more info on the net for free.
Not Recomended..
