Anyone know where I might be able to acquire a copy of the Vern Tardel book “How to Hot Rod your Model A?” Thanks in advance
Not sure if you have the ***le correct? You might be seeking and try searching - How To Build A Traditional Ford Hot Rod - from the books intro blurb " Build your own flathead roadster just as it would have been built in the 1950s! Using a 1929 Ford Model A, this guide follows its construction from start to fantastic finish. Bishop begins with a wealth of expert advice on planning your project, finding traditional parts, and acquiring the tools, time, space, and services needed. From frame, front suspension and steering, to brakes, engine and transmission" It is written by Mike Bishop and Vern Tardel and is available from lots of sources on ebay from between 26 and 35 US$
He got it correct. The book you refer to is a different ***le and freely available as you have pointed out.
Thanks for the input on sources, I’ve been looking all over and it’s sold out everywhere. That’s why I figured I’d asked here if anyone would be willing to sell a copy
I just looked again. Go to Amazon and look under books by Vern Tardel. It will show all of his books. They have How to build a Traditional Ford Hot Rod from $12 used to $22 new in paperback.
Yes, that’s not the book I am looking for though, I appreciate your help though, I’m looking for the “Hot Rod your Model A” Book. Thanks again.
If this is the one you're looking for I would sell it for the cover price of $59.99 plus shipping. It's in New condition. Phil
According to what I have seen Phil gave you the bargain of the day. You seldom see one for sale and when it is the price is usually well over the list price. The older Tardel-Bishop book with the roadster can as others said be found in a lot of places.

I bought a copy of the Hemi tome by Ron Ceredono from the Amazon site. It was listed as used. When it arrived I was pleased to fin a new copy still in its original clear wrapper. The price was $10.00. Now when I see one it is astonishing high! One was listed for $500.00. on ebay. I almost gave my copy to a fellow I sold a hemi motor to. Something told me to hang on to it. Glad I did as its a wealth of information. Point is an advertised as used copy may well be new? This Also happened with another book I bought on line as well. The cost of reprinting must be prohibitive or the authors would surly do so. Even though the demand seems high to us car guys after a few hundred or so reprints got sold the demand would drop considerably or so it seems to me. Perhaps a few hundred copies is considered cost prohibitive in the print business. I wonder.
