I bought Streetrod 101 from Bob about eight or ten years ago. I used to be on his email list until my computer crashed, and I had to get another one. I miss hearing from him, and am building a shop out of an old 18 wheeler trailer that is 53 feet long. At 75 years old, I still plan to build a hot rod, and will order the whole enchilada later this month. I found my original Streetrod 101 cd today, but I don’t believe it’s any good anymore, so I’ll buy the new package with four cd’s. I have probably already seen a lot of the material, which is why I will purchase it again. It is top quality from the man and his work ethic, all the way through the finished product.

That black ’27 roadster in the background of Bob Hamilton’s ‘body modification’ vid looks interesting.
Any info on that? Appears to have a Dick Williams Poly Form rolled pan on the rear…

Bob’s windshield posts seem to have come from a ‘street rod’ source. Hope those don’t become the ‘Norm’…

I enjoyed the Hot Rod Frame and Chassis Construction. I have completed my frame and now helping my friend on his. Very informative DVD.

Comment on Street Rod Rear Suspension Build for 1927 Model T Roadster Project by Mike O'Leary in Washington

I have completed a ’39 Ford Tudor and am working on a ’29 ford Tudor. The Model A has a home built frame and the ’39 frame was extensively modified to accommodate the 351/aod setup. The Streetrod videos were awesome and saved me a lot of time and money not only on the chassis construction but also on the rear end setups (4 bar coilovers). If you are contemplating building a hotrod from the chassis up, these videos are invaluable and well worth the price in terms of cost containment and minimizing frustration. I recommend them highly, without reservation. Thank you John!!
