I would be interested in what is in that book. If anyone has read it, can we get a review and maybe a small excerpt?

Looks like it could be "Duct-tape and bondo for dummies" as well.

The Amazon reviews are actually pretty positive. Judging from the ToC and Index, it seems to be a pretty well thought out and comprehensive overview to how to get those extra ponies and good looks out of your ride.
