Book Description
Ken Gross received a GOLD AWARD at the 2008 International Automotive Media Awards for Excellence for this title.
The best hot rods are art on four wheels, and this book is nothing less than a gallery of the best of American hot rods. Profiling top builders and featuring studio portraits of their most outstanding custom creations, this book celebrates the uniquely American marriage of mechanical know-how and an inspired sense of style and design. Built from the ground up, pieced together from salvaged parts, rebuilt with classic looks and futuristic technology--these are automotive works of art, as powerful on the page as they are on the street.

Just Customz Review
There aren't many books that everyone that sees it wants to borrow it but this is definately one of them! It is packed from cover to cover with hundreds of high-quality glossy pictures that will have any hot-rod enthusiast drooling!
The book covers 20 of the top hot-rod artisans whose attention to detail and quality is extremely high. Each chapter has a small amount of text introducing the person behind the cars and detailing what motivates them and where they get their inspiration. The following builders are each covered by the book;
- Dave Simard
- Jim Lowery Jnr.
- Rolling Bones
- Ken 'Posies' Fencial
- Alan Johnson
- Bobby Alloway
- Troy Trepanier
- Barry Lobeck
