Tex Smith's "How to Build Hot Rod Chassis"

[dmw56]

Here's another must have book by Tex Smith for those of you thinking about building your own frame/chassis. "How to Build Hot Rod Chassis" it covers frames, suspensions, steering, brakes and handling. If you don't have this or Tex Smiths "How to Chop Tops", you need to get both.

I was just looking at that book last night in the book store. I'll probably buy it soon. I once bought the "How To Build a Traditional Ford Hot Rod" book at an out of town car show but managed to lose it before I got home. It was pretty good.

I have the Tex Smith Early Hemi book.

I think most of us feel Tex is "one of the guys" when it comes to rod building. His work is something we can all relate to, and he tends to make or modify most of the stuff he uses rather than go the UPS-1-800 route. I loved his magazine, Hot Rod Mechanix, wish it was still published. Had to be tough for an independent to complete with the Petersons of the publishing world, though.

I am going to try to find this latest book you guys are talking about, I have the others mentioned, and they are great.
