Picture this. One 1934 Ford coupe, flamed, chopped, mags and a V-8. Sounds pretty killer right? What if the body was glass(not that there is anything wrong with that), the flames were of the ‘fire’ variety, the mags were 20”-ers and the V-8 was yet another crate motor. Pretty gross huh? Well then all you need is Gerry Burger’s latest book How to Build Period Correct Hot Rods!
It covers everything, chassis, wheels, engine, interior and paint. It shows you how to put things together in a pleasing manner. Not just a bunch of ‘old timey’ parts thrown together with some black primer(rat rods anyone?). The example cars are awesome! Quite a few ’40 Ford coupes(when do I get one??) and roadsters. Bring a towel your gonna drool.
Gerry states that this isn’t a be all end all book on vintage correct hot rods. It just steers you in the right direction. Take it as a reference guide or just read it 'cause it's cool!
