This deep-dive autopsies the birth of the AMX, exploring everything from severe shoestring budget constraints to the high-speed salt flat runs where Craig Breedlove pushed the powerplant to absolute extremes. It stands as a rigorous preservation of internal combustion history for builders who respect true mechanical transparency over all-show-no-go hype.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe precise fabrication tactics used to chop a four-seat unibody into a structurally rigid, track-ready chassis without sacrificing torsional integrity.  How severe budget limitations forced innovative design solutions in suspension geometry and powertrain integration to handle aggressive torque loads. The untouched performance data, mechanical benchmarks, and endurance specs behind Kenosha's record-smashing salt flat runs. This is a well-researched book; however, this is not a picture book. Real-world wrenchers, mechanical engineers, and project-car preservationists who crave rigorous technical history and shop-floor authenticity. Todd Bandel is a forty-year factory-trained automotive technician, MechanicAddicts platform contributor, and bestselling author who writes from St. Augustine, Florida, to preserve true internal combustion craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAdd this book to your workbench today to tear down the mechanical blueprints of Kenosha's greatest underdog.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":67924441104629,"sku":"YSL52266","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/8774\/8597\/files\/610_i6-Ag6L._SY1500.jpg?v=1793672845","url":"https:\/\/www.newbooks.store\/products\/b0hc1tldwy","provider":"NewBooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
