You did not ship my book to me because I live in United States on Guam. We would really appriciate if you would ship all orders to Guam via USPS priority mail because it is cheaper and we will get the products we order. I am not pleased that you have changed to only UPS. Please review your policy.

It is a very good book for someone who is interested in building and repairing a car from the bottom up. It gives a good techniques on repairing and building a car. It also gives points on some mistakes others have made and trys to save your priceless time. The instruction manual from the manufacturer would be much more valuable.

Easy to read, ample pictures, and clear concise language. Recommended for those who are looking at getting into kitcars/hot rods or those just starting off on a very first project. It touches base on the different systems of a car, enough specifics to let you get a feel, though it's a bit too general for helping out in the tight spots of specific cars.
As mentioned, handbook is probably a bit too strong a word to use for this book. The subtitle, however, points in a much better direction. This book covers those little things that you would usually only learn after your very first time. It tries to impart that little bit of wisdom and experience to the reader. My copy was published in 1997, so one or two things don't keep on the cutting edge of the industry, but then most people who would find this useful aren't going to have a state of the art garage either.
Definately a good addition to the garage library for those interested in working on cars from the ground up, and looking for a helpful guide.

This book helped me builder my kitcar. I was a very first time builder and i was having a difficult time building. I bought the book and it became a lot easier.

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.
