Customer Reviews
- Okay, but not great
- Avg. Customer Rating: 3 Stars
- This is an okay book about modern kustoms, but most of the cars photographed are too untraditional to be considered "Lead Sleds." Most of the cars, including the Caddy on the cover, are of a more street-rod style that was popular a few years back. If you're interested in traditional kustoms I recommend "Barris Customs of the 1950s" instead. If you already own a lot of custom car books (like I do), then this isn't a bad addition. Just be prepared to cringe when the author refers to a car with a Hagan frenched headlight kit and rasberry paint as "a classic custom that could have rolled out of the 1950s".
