As Close to Definitive as you'll likely get
There was a time when the American male was a lot more involved with his automobile. In the old days, when cars, like life, were a lot simpler, men would not only perform their own repairs, they would personalize their vehicles to set them apart from their neighbor's ...

Love the picture instructions
After I learned to paint a car with solid and metallic paints I got this book and it is easy to read and I love the pictures. It is a little weak on pinstriping technique but I'm excited to try out the techniques in this book. There are easy step by step pictures on ...

Ford Performance (Ford)

Pat Ganahl

S-A Design, 1998

For those who can read
I read the book, many times. One must remember all things start in some type of begining, as this book does. No matter if you are working on a 1954 Ford or a late model 5.0 all things in the bottom end are the pretty much the same. For those that worry about aluminum ...

Von Dutch: The Art, The Myth, The Legend (Cartech)

Pat Ganahl

CarTech, 2005

COOL BOOK - a gift for a friend
Generally well done, but not the most polished prose style. A bit of insight into the California car culture of the 60s and 70s, and info on one of the oddest folks in the custom-rod business. For me, a bit 'o nostalgia - I had a friend with a von Dutch paint job - ...

V 6 Performance

Motorbooks International, 1982

Of course it's out of date, but seems useful!
