If you haven't seen there TV series which accompanies this it's excellent. I think it's called Master Mechanic.

I managed to get hold of the series from another source, and I have to say it's not particular rivetting so far. I don't know what I was
expecting though, possibly something like 'a car is born' but it's nothing like it? And there's not much
'content', I get the impression when it was originally broadcast it had to include a lot of recaps even across the adverts.

Found the series poor, just like most other TV 'car' shows, and the book even more so!
Typical 'cashing in' book.

Just finished watching the series and very underwhelmed. Started off promising but each episode seemed to jump and miss bits. Penultiimate eppisode
went from running car without body, and visiting Foose to get some paint inspiration, then the start of the next episode it was painted and done. No
talk about why he didnt go with ideas he discussed in prev episode, no paint booth videos.
Seemed like they squeezed 20 episodes in to 12 and missed out half the good stuff. Far to much time talking about his arm and wife (who is not with
now anyway!) and just a little disappointed.
