I just read the book cover to cover. I was completely mesmerized. Such detail, workmanship, and pride. I can't imagine the cost.

That is a long thread! All that amazing billet fabrication will encourage Aussie Mike even more!

Default Billet Car Book

I do hope you added your request on the thread for an affordable coffee table book for the rest of us. I know many people spend far more for a painting on the wall than the $4,500 price of the Billet Book, but my artwork budget is much, much lower than that.

I do want a copy of the book if they can find a printer.

The build thread is a long one alright, 75+ pages last time I looked but there are many great insights in it that are not in the book. Well worth the time to read it all.

Then the free download PDF book is appreciated even more.

How many people give a free copy of a book to any and all who want it?

Which page of the thread or which website has the link to that PDF? Thanks.

Edit: I guess the idea is to save each section from the Kirkham website?

Default PDF Billet Car Book

That's right Sambo, just save each section instead of opening it.

I made a folder just for the book so I can leave it open for inspiration at work.
