Overall the book provided a complete overview of the build process from design through fixing sagging doors. I especially found the section on frames, suspension and brakes to be interesting as it no only provided and described the basics, it also demonstrated the math in easy to understand terms. The tips it provides are invaluable when starting on a project and will save you a lot of headaches during the build process as well as time having to rework critical items not properly designed.

Building Hot Rods is a hot rod lovers dream come true! This book is full of invaluable information that is easy to read and understand. Mr VanDervort covers so many topics such as brakes, chassis, design, engine, suspension, and so much more plus there are lots of pictures to enjoy. Be sure to look at the red 2102 Hot Rodder on page 14...it's amazing! My son Matthew's dream is to build a hot rod and I'd like to help him. This book will be an excellent starting place for him. Highly recommend!

This isn’t a how-to book per se, but a great collection of columns from Vandervoort. He’s a very good writer, and knows a lot to write about. You probably won’t agree with all his opinions; I prefer the open air to air conditioning, for example. However, anybody how likes cars will enjoy reading this book and is sure to learn something.

This book has been very helpful for my husband! He builds all types of cars and just recently bought an old car to rebuild. This book he loves! It definetly helps and intructs perfectly with the step by step and Pictures! Definetly reccomend!
