DESCRIPTION:
John Doe said Okay, but not great. This is an okay book about modern kustoms, but most of the cars photographed are too untraditional to be considered "Lead Sleds." Most of the cars, including the Caddy on the cover, are of a more street-rod style that was popular a few years back. If you're interested in traditional kustoms I recommend "Barris Customs of the 1950s" instead. If you already own a lot of custom car books (like I do), then this isn't a bad addition. Just be prepared to cringe when the author refers to a car with a Hagan frenched headlight kit and rasberry . "Fab" according to Dawn Tucker. I gave this to my husband for Christmas and he loves it. I would recommend this to anyone who is a lead sled gearhead.. Love this book Ben Bo brings a great assortment of classic Kustoms from some of the greatest builders in this awesome book. Must have.
