Review: Great read, solid advice, short but to the point - build a body. - Short and to the point. Good photos and drawings, but you'll probably need to scale up/down for your own frame. Overall, glad I bought it, the advice is solid and comes from someone who clearly has learned by doing. Review: confirms it can be done! - Hello, I have been toying with the ideas of building a "rat rod"/hot rod for some time now. However, I am a father of four and don't have a large surplus of "toy money for dad". This little text confirms my idea that with a patience and time, I indeed can build my own little hot rod. I began gather discounted running gear parts from craigslist, and trying build up the self confidence to design and construct the body. I have just completed a welding class at the local community college, I feel very confident in my ability to fabricate a body- especially after reading this e-book. BUT I plan to use a donor frame or have a pro weld up a ladder frame for me. (The frame is the foundation or your hot rod- ONLY COMPETENT WELDERS should fabricate the frame!!!! Safety first my friends.) This book was a great price... I was able to download it instantly (and I am really not a computer kinda guy). The text was a quick read, and EXACTLY what I needed to spur me on to construction!!! I would buy ten times over! I hope my review will help you. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #4,322,863 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #752 in Car Customization | | Customer Reviews | 3.6 out of 5 stars 36 Reviews | ## Images ![How To Build A Rat Rod Roadster Body - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51bNevXsHQL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great read, solid advice, short but to the point - build a body. *by M***E on February 11, 2015* Short and to the point.

The title should be "How to build a hideous metal box out of rusted scrap metal" There are few photos, (nothing of the finished product after completion) a few crude sketches, huge gaps around the passenger compartment panels, no mention of what you're going to have to do next after you've wasted a weekend welding up this slab-sided atrocity, which is to a roadster body like a root ball is to a flower arrangement. .. (here's a helpful hint- haul it away and sell it for scrap before you waste any more money trying to make something out of it.) Thankfully, the book is so short (due to a lack of useful information) that you can read it during your morning coffe and not waste a lot of your time on it. I am incredulous that anyone could get something this poorly executed published, even more so that Amazon would sell it. I only gave it a 1 because Amazon won't allow negative numbers on reviews. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/2414348-how-to-build-a-rat-rod-roadster-body](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/2414348-how-to-build-a-rat-rod-roadster-body) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-10-28*
