Street Machines Classics • Muscle Cars • Modern Sue Elliott
Any custom automotive project begins with making choices. There are choices under the hood, such as which engine will match well with a certain chassis and transmission. There are aesthetic choices, like whether to use custom or stock wheels, what paint scheme will look best, and what type of interior will be comfortable as well as eye catching. Each decision involves an investment of money and time. Often what seems plausible in the imagination fails in execution. And only after spending hours of time and thousands of dollars does it become clear that something’s not right. This is the ideal resource for anyone looking to build a powerful and stylish modified street machine. Paperback 160pp 8.2 x 10.6" 551 color photos #149718 $24.99
