With over thirty-five years experience building and restoring custom and classic cars, I've seen it all, bad cars, bad workmanship, bad shops and bad parts. The biggest issues in building a car are, out of control expenses, delays and poor quality workmanship, whether you build the car or a shop does the work. My insider's knowledge will show you how to build a better custom or classic car on a reasonable budget, without over-spending, not one dollar. You will also have much more control over the quality of parts and components installed, and the quality of workmanship, whether you build your car in your shop, or have a local custom shop build it. There is a method or process to doing this, and anyone can easily learn it. You can learn how to build your custom car or truck on-budget, no surprises. This process applies to any vehicle. You will save thousands of dollars, not having to deal with surprise costs, delays, and poor quality parts and labor. I wrote this book to help you car nuts and gearheads save money, know more about a hand-built vehicle, and enjoy your car even more, rather than have to tow it back to the shop for another repair. Many of you guys know some of this stuff, but almost no one ever has built a car for the dollar cost he proposed when he started. This book will open your eyes, teach you to make wise decisions and your end result will be that you build an even better car for fewer dollars spent, a car that you will enjoy more and will be worth more, and not just maybe. Muscle car or hot rod, custom or classic, 30's, 40's, 50's, or 60's, this method works. Whether your project is just an engine upgrade or a complete ground-up build, this process removes the guesswork, the worry about everything, the last minute or unexpected decisions and expenses. You will know before you start, what your car will cost, to the dollar and the day it will be done, exactly. I have also written five other books about custom and classic cars. Just type my name in the Amazon search window and all of my books will come up. Thank you for your interest.
