Thanks for posting up this link to the book grumpyoldman. And thanks to those of you who have clicked over to browse through the book. Just so everyone knows, the book is available free for on-line reading at the link provided above. You are also free to download any of the sections or chapters of the book...provided they are not used for commercial resale.Almost every aspect of building a rod is covered (including interior, upholstery and paint) but the primary focus is on hand fabrication of bodies and chassis. After building the rods shown below, I am convinced nearly every rodder can do the same or better with just minimal tools and without extensive training or experience. I had absolutely zero metal working skills when I tackled my first car (the roadster) and I have no elaborate tools in my shop. I do most of my metal shaping over oak stumps, PVC pipe and a beater bag...or anything else I might have laying around the shop that looks handy. And every one of my so called metal shaping "secrets" is shown in the book. If any of you have questions about the methods or techniques shown in the various chapters, you can post them up in this thread and I'll try to answer any and all. And thanks again for the interest in the book shown by rat rod nation.Dewey

Did you download the chapter to your hard drive first and try to print from there or did you try it by printing directly from your browser screen? Any details on process you used for the failed attempts would be helpful.Dewey
