Description

The best Hot Rod cars are Art on four wheels, and this book is nothing less than a gallery of the best Hot Rods, profiling the machines in stunning color, top builders with studio portraits of their work, and commentary on their most outstanding custom creations. This book celebrates the unique marriage of mechanical know-how and inspired sense of design and style. Built from the ground up, pieced together from salvaged parts, rebuilt with classic looks and futuristic technology - these are racing cars as works of art, as powerful and compelling on the page as they are on the street and racetrack!
