How to Build GM Pro-Touring Street Machines

by Tony E. Huntimer




GM's muscle cars of the '60s and '70s were great for their time - but what they did best was go in a straight line. Today's performance cars have it all though - speed, handling, and comfort. This book shows you how to build a Pro-Touring machine: a classic muscle car that accelerates, stops, corners, and rides like Detroit's best new high-performance cars.

Author Tony E. Huntimer goes through a car's major systems - drivetrain, chassis, suspension, body, and interior - and shows you how to upgrade that classic muscle car to make it a modern performer. Electronic fuel injection, 6-speed trannies, better shocks and springs, modern seating and instruments, and subtle body mods are all covered, along with step-by-step how-to sequences on many key modifications. Classic muscle car looks, with modern muscle car performance - that's what Pro-Touring is all about!

Tony Huntimer has been into hod-rodding since he was old enough to build model cars. He purchased his first V-8 muscle car and has been sold on them ever since. After graduating high school he worked for five years as a mechanic and was able to gain first-hand knowledge on how Detroit designed and engineered their chassis, bodies, and interiors. Tony has written articles for Popular Hot Rodding and Drive Magazine as well as How to Build and Modify GM Pro-Touring Street Machines and How to Build Ford Restmond Street Machines. Currently Huntimer is a freelance writer/author and property manager. He enjoys working on and driving his 1968 Chevy Camaro with a 396-ci stroker engine. He lives in San Jose, California.
