In the late 1950s, as designers from the Big Three became more daring, their do-it-yourself counterparts in the custom-car world found that the new designs from Detroit worked exceptionally well with custom treatments like shaving, lowering, “lakes pipes,” and the ever-wilder custom painting of the day—aesthetics that would come to dominate this peak custom car era. Professional freelance photographer James Potter captured the epicenter of this landmark scene in what was then suburban Los Angeles. In this photographic history of that time and place, Thom Taylor presents the best of Potter’s collection depicting the cars of “Kustomland.” Two- and four-page features on two-dozen renowned customs from mild to radical feature not only Potter’s exemplary work, but brief capsule histories of the cars and their owners and captions detailing the cars’ features. Taylor also includes features on legendary custom painter Larry Watson and the Renegades car club, as well as a biography of Potter and a historic overview of Kustomland and the areas it encompassed.

With over thirty-five years experience building and restoring custom and classic cars, I've seen it all, bad cars, bad workmanship, bad shops and bad parts. The biggest issues in building a car are, out of control expenses, delays and poor quality workmanship, whether you build the car or a shop does the work. My insider's knowledge will show you how to build a better custom or classic car on a reasonable budget, without over-spending, not one dollar. You will also have much more control over the quality of parts and components installed, and the quality of workmanship, whether you build your car in your shop, or have a local custom shop build it. There is a method or process to doing this, and anyone can easily learn it. You can learn how to build your custom car or truck on-budget, no surprises. This process applies to any vehicle. You will save thousands of dollars, not having to deal with surprise costs, delays, and poor quality parts and labor. I wrote this book to help you car nuts and gearheads save money, know more about a hand-built vehicle, and enjoy your car even more, rather than have to tow it back to the shop for another repair. Many of you guys know some of this stuff, but almost no one ever has built a car for the dollar cost he proposed when he started. This book will open your eyes, teach you to make wise decisions and your end result will be that you build an even better car for fewer dollars spent, a car that you will enjoy more and will be worth more, and not just maybe. Muscle car or hot rod, custom or classic, 30's, 40's, 50's, or 60's, this method works. Whether your project is just an engine upgrade or a complete ground-up build, this process removes the guesswork, the worry about everything, the last minute or unexpected decisions and expenses. You will know before you start, what your car will cost, to the dollar and the day it will be done, exactly. I have also written five other books about custom and classic cars. Just type my name in the Amazon search window and all of my books will come up. Thank you for your interest.

Among the hardest core of American automotive enthusiasts there always exists a desire to press styling and performance a step beyond the showroom floor -- to truly craft an automobile of one's own. This photographic and cultural history examines the evolution of American custom cars from the 1930s to present, covering touchstone trends, influential builders (Barris, Roth, Coddington et al), custom shows, enthusiast magazines and regional styles. An expensive collection of rare period photography and exclusive modern shots help illustrate how Detroit informed the styling of customs (and vice versa), the explosion of the custom car scene after World War II and the factors that led to the custom's near-death in the 1960s and its resurgence in the '80s. But most of all, this chronicle is a showcase of the great cars and people who influenced the movement through the years.
