Bob:
I have both books, and in my humble opinion, they are not worth much. The
first is heavy on construction techniques, for a very specific situation, and
the second wastes a lot of space to reprint plans for storage components.
Neither book has much of what I wanted, which is ideas, hints, and layout
examples that I can use in my own shop/garage.
If any one is interested, I will sell both of them for half of what they are
going for from Classis Motorbooks, shipping included.
