hi this book sounds like a must for a car builder'i want a copy'how do i get one'i am in new zealand'please tell me how to get it'

What a pleasant surprise when I opened the book and found detailed plans for the building of a 7 clone. I've often considered building one of these machines for myself,but wondered just how a 5'11",250 lb paul bunyan wannabe would fit inside one of these machines. Well, with the plans at hand, a sheet of paper, a pencil and some quick math, I can determine how I can modify the chassis to fit my rather bulky frame,and maybe even accept a different engine than the pushrod Fords or the Fiat twincams listed in the book. I think a 4-AGE Toyota twincam would be just the ticket...E ticket. Great book, can hardly wait to get started.

This book has been my first step to a component car creation. It has outlined all the skills required and assists the builder by suggesting further reading. I have not as yet made any further in roads into the production of my Locost but intend to in the near future. I must admit living in the UK helps as parts are available here and there are enterprising individuals building parts to meet Ron's specification.

The book is an excellent starting piont and guide for building your own car. Ron provides the basics leaving out some details to (maybe) insure you know what you are doing but with this book and help from the internet mailing that has resulted you could do it. The book does detail the building of the car in Britain, but with some research it can be done on any contient.
