This book is the quintessential book on GM G-Body performance how-to, covering Chevrolet, Buick, Pontiac and Olds. Including chapters on the history of the G-Body, Stock and Performance brake set-up, front suspension and steering. There are also sections about GM’s four-link rear suspension and boxing your frame. Manual transmission swaps and big block or LS swaps have their own chapters. This book doesn’t leave anything out as it even has a chapter on performance interiors and upgrades. As with all Car Tech books, the best part is the source guide which lists all of the companies referenced in the book and their current phone numbers and addresses which is helpful to anyone just starting or about to finish their project. Although the commentary and the pictures are both superb these books are still printed in China. ( )

Great guide for car enthusiasts. I would highly recommend to anyone who is into classic cars!

This is another great project book from CarTech. A must have for the Monte Carlo enthusiast, it also covers the Chevy Malibu, El Camino, GMC Caballero, Buick Regal, Pontiac Grand Prix, Bonneville, Grand Lemans and Olds Cutlass. Engine and transmission swaps, brake and suspension upgrades – these are all explored with plenty of great color photos. It’s fun to thumb through while daydreaming on what you want to do to your ride, and then offers practical advice when you’ve decided what to do. ( )
