Street Rod Engineering
NOW IN STOCK Building your own Street Rod is a most rewarding experience. Nothing quite matches the sense of achievement gained from having "done it yourself". Not everyone has the time or ability to do all or even a major portion of the work on their own street rod. It is still important to have at least a basic understanding of the engineering principles involved in building a safe and reliable vehicle.
From this book the average street rodder will gain a complete understanding of what it takes to build is or her own street rod, secure in the knowledge that the components used in the car, and the way they are fitted, is in line with safe engineering principles.
