Hot Rod Body and Chassis Builder's Guide

By: Dennis W. Parks .

You're building a hot rod. The first step is the chassis. If it's not right, the car won't handle well. If it's really not right, the car might destroy itself. There are choices to be made, from frame rails to suspension components, and some combinations will work better than others. Next is the body. This is what everyone sees first. It's what makes a hot rod a hot rod.
