The publishers of Castlemaine’s Australian Street Rodding magazine – Graffiti Publications have launched their latest book Street Rod Engineering.
Local hot rod enthusiast and Graffiti Publications founder Larry O’Toole said the book is a follow up to one they published 23 years ago titled Engineering Street Rods.
“The original book was very successful and was printed twice in that period. It sold very well in the USA and was the go-to-book for hot rodders wanting to endure their vehicle was built safely and to comply with the certification regulations,” he said.
The book is considered a bible for those new to hot rodding offering a step by step guide to building your own car. See the Mail for the full story.
