Book Description
Originally, "lead sled" was a derogatory term used to refer to any custom car whose owner used lead as a body filler -- often poorly applied. Today, the term no longer carries the negative connotations, instead referring to any custom that has undergone extensive bodywork, including frenched headlights, shaved door handles, a chopped top, a sectioned body, reworked lines, or any combination thereof. This book will examine the hottest lead sleds on the nation's custom scene today, with brief histories of the cars and all-new color photography.
