Product Description

Once confined to South California, the low rider phenomena is now securely entrenched across the U.S. with shows, competitions and specialty builders found from Los Angeles to New York. This first-ever look at this specialized form of car building provides a serious, in depth, "how-to" examination of major elements of low rider constructions with technical information concerning the design and construction of the unique hydraulic systems, specialty metal plating, vehicle lowering, drive train modification, etc. Includes good emphasis on the latest trend in low riders, i.e. the construction of European/Pacific Rim low riders.

5.0 out of 5 stars A worthwhile starting point if you want to build a low-rider, November 24, 2000
This is a very detailed book that covers all aspects of building a low-rider, including hydraulics. Because you can build a low-rider from any vehicle, it does not give exact steps for any one vehicle (which is actually a real positive) but it thoroughly covers most of the major subject areas, from the purchase of the vehicle, to welding and tool recommendations, to modifying the suspension, to installing hydraulics. Frank does focus on GM products, a favorite lowrider brand. The tips are great...creative ways to save money and prevent lots of grief while completing your project car. The author is obviously an automotive junkie. Before you start the project, you need this book as a base reference. It will pay for itself! Once you buy your vehicle, you'll continue to refer back to the book and keeps you focused on the big picture. I was greatly surprised by the depth of the content, and learned more in a couple hours of reading than I would have in a week at the local garage - well done and well worth the minor number of pennies it takes to buy it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Diagrams for hyrdos, March 15, 2002
By A Customer
I found this book to be very good on explaining how exactly a lowrider works as well as how to set up a hyrdulic system on a car. This book has the best diagrams of complete systems i have ever seen. It also has some good basic information on other topics as well. I have to say though this is the best book you can buy if your going to start to build a lowrider this is the place to start.
