Custom Cars: Coupes, Sedans, Pickups Idea Book - Ideas and Inspiration for Your Project Car
Whether you're at a club event, a swap meet, a national car show, or just cruising through town on a Saturday night, you want your custom car to turn heads.
The challenge of building a truly superior custom starts with the right car and the right vision to turn it into your dream ride. Choosing the body style, acquiring the right donor car, and selecting the perfect combination of accessories, upholstery, engine dressing, paint, and plating can be difficult.
With an infinite number of combinations and possibilities, where start? How do you avoid mixing styles that don't blend or spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on something that ends up looking wrong?
In the Custom Cars Idea Book, author and photographer Alan Mayes shares over 500 photos that will help you along the path to designing and building the car you've always wanted.
By crafting a careful build plan from start to finish, you can define a custom car that will remain timeless and unique as long as you own it.
