                                                        One thing that has become very evident when  browsing through the latest rodding magazines is that there is no  shortage of options regarding suspensions for your rodding project.  Various advertisers feature their latest fancy complete independent  set-ups, while car features cover a combination of both the latest and  greatest vs. traditional styles of suspensions. Which ones are the best?  How hard are they to install, and how much is it going to cost?

In  The Complete Builder's Guide to Hot Rod Chassis & Suspension,  highly regarded hot rodding author Jeff Tann covers everything  enthusiasts need to know about designing and building their new chassis  and suspension system. It thoroughly explores both factory and  aftermarket frames, modified factory solid-axle suspensions, and  aftermarket independent front and rear suspension setups. No matter what  design a reader may be considering for his own car, How to Build Hot  Rod Chassis delivers a wealth of information on the pros and cons of all  systems available.

Whether you end up building a traditional or  retro rod and stick with a conventional system, go high-tech and get the  latest and greatest, or decide on a hybrid somewhere in between, this  book will guide you through the process of choosing, installing, and  enjoying your hot rod's suspension.

                                                        Vintage, retro, or classic hot rods have been an  enduring element of the hot rod hobby. These vintage roadsters, sedans,  and coups have become very popular because they are the bedrock of the  hot rodding culture. However, many rodders have built a rod dedicated to  a particular decade, era, region, flavor or style, but these have  lacked all the period correct details, and it's crucial to get all the  details (ie: parts) right. If some parts are not of the complementary or  the package does not faithfully replicate a particular style or era,  the theme of the hot rod can be ruined. Hot rod veteran Gerry Burger  explains how to identify, buy, or build the parts to create a faithful  period correct hot rod and a car that you will be proud of and will gain  the respect from others in the hobby. The book showcases all the parts  that make an authentic hot rod of a certain era, flavor, or style,  including 50s and 60s style, both East Coast and West Coast. It details  the wide range of stock parts and popular high-performance parts from a  particular era. He discusses when they were first produced and when they  were in popular use. Burger discusses how to choose the period correct  engine for your chassis, valve covers, intakes, and carbs that also  match the era from Edelbrock, Offenhauser, and others. Similar chapters  also cover, interiors, wheels and tires, frames, suspension, and other  components. When it comes to putting together all the pieces to create  an attractive, accurate, and fun hot rod from the 50s, 60s, and 70s, no  other book is a better guide than How to Build Period Correct Hot Rods.
