Street Rod Engineering: Practical Hot Rodder's Guide: How to Build Your Own Safely Engineered Street Rod Project

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 more complete understanding of what it takes to build his 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. While this book won't turn you into a fully qualified engineer, it will help you understand at least the basics of good street rod engineering.
