4.0 out of 5 stars Great book for one who is building a car from the ground up., 16 May 1999

By A Customer

It is a very good book for someone who is interested in building a car from the chassis up. It gives a good techniques on suspension and brakes. It also gives points on some mistakes others have made and trys to steer you clear of them. I have built several kit cars and this time I am building the frame and suspension. The book does not add too much help for one who is just putting a fiberglas body on a donor car. The instruction manual from the manufacturer would be much more valuable.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book for first time builders, 8 Jun 1998

By A Customer

I am getting ready to build a Cobra replica and I found this book very useful. Although this will be my first kit car, I have restored about a half dozen cars from jeeps to mustangs to impalas. Really good advice for beginners

1.0 out of 5 stars Useless to anyone with the slightest automotive experience., 26 Mar 1998

By A Customer

This book is beyond bland. It contains no information useful to anyone who has the slightest experience with automotive mechanics. It is typical of so many automotive books, and especially magazines, which contain only the most basic and generic information rather than addressing the difficult technical aspects of the subject. Any one who could find the information in this book useful and informative should NOT be attempting to build a kit car. My qualifications? I own a Lamborghini Countach kit car built on a stretched Fiero. I bought it partially assembled and finished it (if a project like this is ever finished!) last fall. It is registered, state inspected, and on the road.
