One of the most distinctive and interesting eras in hot rodding was
the early '60s, when Gasser-class and altered wheelbase machines
were changing the definition of what a hot rod was. Eventually, the
altered wheelbase machines gave rise to the Funny Car, but before
they did, they left a permanent mark on the history of drag racing.
In How to Build Altered Wheelbase Cars, renowned writer Steve
Magnante first walks readers through the colorful history of the
altered wheelbase period and then shows them how to perform these
radical modifications themselves. Magnante's fun and colorful style
makes for entertaining reading, and the coverage of floorpan mods,
chassis alterations, and both front and rear suspension upgrades
are covered in great detail on three different chassis types. After
reading this book, the basic technical tenets of altering vehicle
wheelbase will be understood and the almost mythical legend
surrounding such cars will be fully realized. What were once
considered race only modifications can now be civilized for street
use, and Magnante carefully reviews all of the relevant points for
optimal appearance, performance, and safety. The techniques and
processes detailed between the covers of How to Build Altered
Wheelbase Cars have been proven on Magnante's own personal
vehicles, and after his many street miles and drag strip passes,
readers can rely on Steve's advice. With plenty of historical
images for reference and clear step-by-step how-to photos, you can
build your own altered-wheelbase car for fun on the street or the
strip.
