Build Book #2 ?
 

Has anyone bought this ?

I bought the first one, two in fact cause I wore the first one out reading it so much.................

Well I just got #2 in the mail and it's the Poisies (SP) Aeroliner......................I was very disappointed with it........................the way in which they did so much was very........................disappointing is the right word.......after seeing how Rad Rides do what they do I expected a the second book to be of the same caliber................there were a few things in it that were educational but for the most part, how they did the frame...the exhaust....the suspension....even little stuff like wiring and stereo was just......wierd I guess is the best one word.....

I had heard that there was going to be a Build Book of the Foose /Unique Performance Camaro, I hope I don't have to wait a year to see that one..............

I guess to sum it up I learned ALOT from #1 and had expected to learn lots from #2 but it just wasn't the case.............

I purchased Build Book #2 as well. I have to admit that the car is not to my tastes... but that is wht they make icecream in different flavors! :D Anyway, while the car isn't something I would build, I still found some itneresting stuff in there... Learned a few things too. As for number 3, I wouldn't mind a Build Book on the SN65 Mustang! Very nice!

yep i picked up two yesterday at the Chicago Autorama

What car is in build book 2?

I thought it was different
 

I got #2 at san franciso rod and custom show and I did not know if it was a taste thing or if It was just a different book. I liked the first one better. #2 was cool but not like the first.

how are you going to make a book of Posey building some wild concoction as interesting and informative as Trepanier building a Cuda? probably needs to do one on Trepanier and Poteet's Bonneville Cuda..

i think scott has a couple more shops doing photos for more books .

Yeah got it straight from Posies shop. I had say too i was dissapointed of it too.To the book and to the car. Sorry.

I just wish they would do it from Foose camaro..

I still waiting on my copies of both 1 and 2. There are so many cars that I would love to see Buildbooks of, I would have a hard time picking out a select few to actually publish. I vote for SN65 also though :thumbsup: .

Sorry to resurect an old thread, but, from what I understand, the build books are basically paid advertizing. Go to their website and they talk about how they structure the book to best illustrate your product, etc...

I was very disapointed when I learned that. I thought that they picked a project based on merit, but I guess they pick a project based on how much money you throw at them.

Well advertising is what makes the world go around, I mean the book itself isn't going to pay for itself in sales, as kick ass as they are, it's geared towards a limited market.

I have no idea how much it costs the shop to be featured but I am sure it's not free for them either, but I would assume they would get a good return on their investment with future clients.

It's a smart idea on Build Books part cause we get to see kick ass work, which is a education in it's self for some people, the shops get more exposure, the sponsors and advertisers get the word out in a controlled and spotlighted fashion..............I mean it's great to know that Flowmaster makes a great product but now people get to see how it's installed etc.

I still like it, I think there should be more then one ever year or whatever the spacing of the 2 have worked out to be.

I have no gripe with advertizing. Advertizing is a good thing.

But....

In the case of this product. You are not going to see kick ass work, unless the kick ass work has deep pockets. The same with the advertizers product.

I like the idea also. But I think that the "project" and the advertizing should be two different things. I find it hard to determine if what they are saying is true when they make comments like the following.....

BUILD BOOK is designed to allow the professional parts manufacturer to highlight its products exclusively
Show and tell the reasons why its products were used on the featured vehicle, along with a definitive and thorough explanation of the showcased product
