DESCRIPTION:
What more can I say! I have no aspirations to build a Supercar (a more sedate form of transport is ideal for me), but if you have ANY interest in kit cars this is a must-have read, if only to wonder how the author has so much patience. Customer review from , September 2008Having seen the finished vehicle at the Newark Kit Car Show earlier this year I expected this book to be good – I didn't expect it to be this good!The useful information in this book is far more than any fibreglassing book I've read before, and I'm only part way through the book, which arrived today. The modest author seen at the show certainly can write as well as build cars, and this book is absolutely superb, giving the necessary info in an entertaining way, with good detail. I've now run out of superlatives!
All the ideas can be adapted to solve your own problems and meet your own particular requirements. It does not neglect other aspects of car building with other sections covering such things as the vacuum forming of a pair of headlight fairings, how to ensure systems such as twin fuel tanks and mid engined gear linkages work as intended and how the exhaust system was made. The book focuses mainly on fiberglass moulding and modification including the manufacture of a stylish rear wing spoiler from a basic wooden mould to the construction of a pair of gull wing doors using the same method. It describes the unique inexpensive ideas and techniques that were combined to achieve impressive results and lift the project car from average to outstanding. Two hundred and fifty detailed photographs, sectional views and exploded diagrams ensure maximum clarity..

Great pictures and construction details are displayed, well written directions and materials lists.. "Total Junk" according to E. Grant. This book is total junk! The publisher is just trying to make a buck and has lied about the title! The lines of the car are great, but the car was built when the "project" started. This has ZERO frame design, and is a modification of a one off car. You can't even replicate the book as you can't get the raw car to start with. Totally mis-leading. Additionally all the information given is for fiberglassing, and can be found in any good boatbuild. Johnny Jupiter said How to Modify a Kit Car. What the books covers, it does in detail. I thought it would cover all aspects of car building and it doesn't. The author modifies a kit car so he doesn't talk about electrical, chassis, suspension, any mechanical system and drivetrain. He basically modifies the body and interior. Useful but far from complete.
