Book excerpt: The gray-scale print of these images is lighter than the bold lines of average coloring books by design so that the images look more like a photograph when colored in. The light backgrounds give each automobile great contrast and puts the emphasis on the car. Car enthusiasts and experienced colorists will find images of vintage hot rods, rat rods, and classic automobiles to bring to life with colored pencils, crayons, gel pens and other art media in the pages of this coloring book. Images are each a collage of digitally processed gray-scale photos of classic cars, local landscapes, and even a few four-legged sidekicks because what dog doesn't love a car ride.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I've been writing classic car short stories for seven years, authoring over sixty and nearing 200,000 online "views." I decided to put together my favorite stories from the past, or at least those that seemed best for book format, as a "Greatest Hits" collection similar to Peter Egan's Side Glances. I've published a collection of twenty-six stories covering a wide cross-section of classic car culture. The cars discussed range from the cheapest old Ford truck to the most expensive Ferraris in the world. The adventures range from driving a 1957 M.G.A. in anger at an off-road race in a rock pit, to oogling million dollar cars at the Lime Rock Historics Festival. I'm a little sarcastic and often don't follow the crowd which adds some humor. The book is illustrated with pictures of some of the most famous cars in the world (Sterling Moss' Mille Miglia Mercedes SLR, Nuvolari's Alfa Romeo, Bentley Old Number One, etc).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Project Street Rod is a complete guide to restoring a vintage car, written by auto-restoration guru Larry Lyles, a regular contributor to Auto Restorer magazine. In this detailed 21-chapter volume, Lyles walks the car owner through every step of the modification, from the disassembly of the car and to the finish touches, all with detailed instructions. Lyles transforms a beat-up 1946 Ford into a car the “looks nice, is very dependable, and is decked out with many of the [necessary] modern-day trappings.” The title of each chapter is straightforward and tells the restorer exactly which step Lyles is explaining. The contents includes: beginning the disassembly, exterior and interior, and taking proper measurements of each component; installing the front suspension; installing the engine; shocks, spring and metal lines; floor pan installation, “suicide” doors, chopping the top, completing the top chop, seats, air-conditioning, and brake pedal; first project mock-up; working with body filler; color selection; new parts and fresh primer; ordering critical parts; the final clear coats; buildup; interior trim; headliner and center console; and finishing touches. Each step in every chapter is photographed as the author progresses along, with captions to spell out exactly what has to happen. The book offers helpful advice about choice of tools and tips to make even beginners feel confident about tackling the many steps involved. With nearly forty years experience in repairing, rebuilding, and restoring classic cars (and lots of unclassic ones like this 1946 Ford!), Lyles emphasizes the reader’s need to organize his or her project by determining the course of the project, researching suppliers, making lists of parts and their conditions, creating spreadsheets of estimated and actual costs, and photographing each component as a reference for later in case the restoration goes off track. Each chapter ends with a “notes” page for the reader to record his or her progress, making this manual a practical workbook as well. When the reader gets to the final pages of the book and reads the sections “Starting Up” and “The Walk Around,” there will be a true sense of accomplishment. An appendix of part suppliers and an index complete the book.

Book excerpt: The history of hot rodding is filled with stories of cars that were lost for a wide variety of reasons. Some were crashed, others lost in accidents, and others simply faded away. Its the third group that Lost Hot Rods II focuses on. Many great hot rods that were once famous were simply hidden away. Some of them have been tracked down and are now found once again. As a solid follow-up to the success of the original Lost Hot Rods, this book continues the fun of discovering whatever happened to many of the great rods and customs built in the early days of the sport. Lost Hot Rods II shares the full story of each car, including how it was originally built, when it dropped off the radar, and how it was ultimately found. Photos from the past and present are included to showcase the story behind each and every one of these great cars. Industry veteran and celebrated historian Pat Ganahl once again opens the archives and pounds the pavement in order to bring you the stories on some of the coolest cars ever to appear in shows or grace the pages of automotive magazines. A perfect companion to the best-selling Lost Hot Rods: Remarkable Stories of How They Were Found.

Book excerpt: From the mind of Mr. Gasser himself, with behind-the-scenes pictures from his own files, comes the story of the life and times and art of this icon of hot rodding and visionary of Kustom Kulture. Since Ed "Big Daddy" Roth first told his tale, a whole new generation has discovered the creator of Rat Fink, Beatnik Bandit, and Mysterion-and this now-classic illustrated autobiography gives new and old fans alike a look into the shop and studio. ""The Salvador Dali of the movement,"" Tom Wolfe called him, ""a surrealist in his designs, a showman by temperament, a prankster""–and Roth’s larger-than-life personality comes across here as he tells how he arrived at his famous ""plaster and fiberglass"" method of constructing his sculptures on wheels (It could be done ""by people with little or no talent and I had both,"" as he put it.) and shows off some of his more outlandish models. A fitting tribute to an outlaw legend, this book brings Big Daddy’s work to wild and wonderful life, and lets us hear the man’s incomparable voice one more time.
