User Ratings and Reviews
2 Stars Hot rod wiring
The book does have some good information, but could benfit from the use of more simple schematics. The book was primarily purchased to help trouble shoot turn signal systems and that information seemed to be lacking entirely. Also, it seems it is a advertising site for an aftermarket wiring kit supply company. It does have some basic wiring information, but I think people should look elsewhere for something more complete and functional.
2 Stars How to wire a Hot Rod using Painless
Painless should provide this book with their wire kits. It would be usefull in that case. Otherwise, there is some good information here but not what you would need to wire a hot rod without a kit.
5 Stars Basic wiring
Dennis Overholser has created a wiring instruction book that is easy to read and understand. While not overly technical it provides the diy type of individual the basics to arm himself/herself to wire a hot rod or certainly to upgrade an existing system. Photos and illustrations are clear,concise and easy to read. Charts are great.
This book is great value for price and I refer to it on a regular basis.
5 Stars Wiring your street rod
“How to Wire Your Hot Rod” was a great help for wiring my Street Rod. It was packed full of helpful hints and wire diagrams that the MFG of the wire harness did not provide or was not fully explained. This is an excellent tool for a first time builder such as myself “Highly Recomended”

3 Stars lacking
as all motor books i have found heavy on unneccessary pictures, but does manage to squeeze in some good tecniques in between
5 Stars must have
Must have to read (or do) a lot of the old school type customizing for cars. Very complete. Well written and detailed sections.
4 Stars Great stuff!!!
Burger and Hendrickson have done a great job of covering the process of building a hot rod. With their years of experience, wit, and wisdom it makes for a very enjoyable read. Much of the text is obviously culled from the late, great RODDER’S DIGEST magazine, but it was good then, just as it is now. For anyone who is seriously into hot rods, this is required reading.
5 Stars Hot rodders, restorers, pocket rocket folks…the works!
Okay, I admit, I am not a hot rodder. I like fast, water-cooled volkswagens. The book was a gift. “Great,” I thought. “What am I gonna do with this?” It sat around for awhile before I cracked the covers. Good Golly, y’all!! THIS BOOK ROCKS!!
The authors have really distilled auto resto and modification down to were even a nimrod can understand it and envision doing the projects. I can’t really speak to the “Model T-this,” “Deuce-coupe-that” sort of stuff in the book, but man, the technical stuff about metal-bumping, welding, body work, paint application, suspension modifciation, and other how-to stuff is great. They have put the facts in simple, step-by-step sequences with loads of photos to clarify the procedure. This is the kind of stuff you find in good car magazines, but here, the authors have wrapped into one slick package.
Okay, so it looks a little funny on my shelf with all my euro-car books, but I am not ashamed to own (AND actually to have READ) a copy of Hot Rodder’s Bible. My hat is off to the authors. I am sure hot rodders will love this book as much as I found that I did. Believe me, I was determined to not like, or even admit that I owned, this book. Now, I take it to my club meetings and show if off to my buds. I wonder if the authors would ever consider a “Pocket Rocket Bible?”
