Build a Low Budget Hot Rod with new eBook
Legendary hot rod plan author, Chester Greenhalgh, returns with 25 more years of "beer budget" street rod building experience to show how to have the classic look of a 1940s or 1950s pickup truck with the performance, comfort and safety of a late model V8-powered truck.
The hot rod hobby today is growing faster than ever with the emergence of thousands of low-budget "rat rods" built by a new generation of hands-on fabricators and mechanics as a visible sign of protest toward the expensive, professionally-built street rod movement adopted by aging baby-boomers and out of pure necessity to get the most individual, customized look and performance on a very limited budget.
Sixty-six year old hot rod builder Chester Greenhalgh bridges this gap with five decades experience building fun, fast hot rods for himself, customers and friends using junkyard parts and everyday materials to get the most impact for the least cost. Greenhalgh has found that the best hot rod value today can be had by mating the classic look of a 1940s or 1950s pickup truck body with the performance, comfort, safety and reliability of a more modern later model V8 powered pickup truck chassis that is cheap and readily available. He documents how that can be done with a minimum of special tools and experience in his new eBook, "Hot Rod" or "Rat Rod", How to Mount an Antique Pickup Truck Body on a Late Model Pickup Truck Frame ... for Less than $3000".
The new 107-page eBook features over 200 color photographs and illustrations and shows by example how Greenhalgh takes a field-find Jeep truck body and mounts in to a 1970s Chevrolet pickup truck chassis. The eBook, available in a simple PDF format and not requiring any special viewer hardware, is available for $9.99 from www.HotRodPlans.com.
