5Surprisingly fascinating read...  Apr 25, 2009 By Broadmeadow
I picked this book up because I needed to learn about fasteners and fluid plumbing for a Ghia I'm fixing. I'd expected this to be a necessary but boring slog of a read.

Much to my surprise I found it fascinating. The author's explanations are clear and concise without being dumbed down. But the author also doesn't make assumptions that you automatically know the background information either.

If you're looking for a book on this subject, this is the one.

5A Clear and Concise Review of These Essential Automotive Components  Sep 27, 2008 By Joseph H. Smith "Steel City Gear Head"
This is a great book for anyone who does any work on automobiles. It gives an explanation of the components that hold the vehicle together as well as the conduits that carry the fluids that allow the mechanical systems to function. These systems are often forgotten because they are not glamorous like stereo systems or fancy paint jobs but are imperative for the proper functioning of the engine running and the ability to stop the car safely. If you crash into a brick wall, it does not matter how many watts your sound system puts out. A must read.

5Good up to date information  Sep 24, 2008 By Sonny F. Libecco
Mike has put together an excellent, up to date discussion of the these critical areas of the modern race car. He discusses the latest equipment, techniques and products available to the modern car builder and presents many time and money saving tips. Newbie or Pro, you need to put down your wrenches and read this book!


5Really Great Book - Definitely Read  Dec 31, 2011 By M. Vanderbilt
I purchased this book because the Kindle price was so low and I just wanted something to read on my Kindle to prep for the restoration of my classic car. I am very glad that I got it! Read on the Kindle, there is some repetition due to text versus captions and, if you're using the Kindle Fire expecting colour pictures, be forewarned that there aren't any. That's all the bad that there is, though. Somehow, the author has actually made a book about bolts and fittings fun to read! Also, it's highly educational and covers specifics applicable to new cars, old cars, and even my 50-year-old British car. If you think you know how to bolt, tighten, and torque, think again - there is significantly more science and aren't than you might expect. My restoration would probably have gone just fine without ever reading this book. Having now read it, my restoration will not just go fine, but more smoothly and with a significantly better and more authentic final product. As I am now considering spending the additional money for a printed version for my garage, as well, I don't think anyone will be disappointed with spending the Kindle price to read this!


5Auto Books  Jun 12, 2010 By Paul R. Robinson
This is a really great book! I know it sounds funny, but I learned a lot about fasteners and thread lubricants that I didn't know. And it's very easy reading.
