Customs Rik Hoving's FIRST Custom Car book

Well done Rik. Nice to see a legitimate book dedicated to tradition of the custom. I will be getting a copy for sure.

 

Congrats, Rik! Cannot wait to get one!

 

Awesome!!!

 

Congratulations, Rik! Great work!!!

 

Wow. That masterpiece looks fantastic, Rik.
Would love to get me dirty hands on one of the copies!

Dear Father Christmas,
...

 

A big THANKS for your efforts. Looking forward to getting a copy of the book. And, holding my breath to see if the Pete Brock '46 Ford convert is included.

 

I'm looking forward to reading it. Congrats, Rik!

 

Rik, I know it will be said over and over, "You are the greatest custom car historian on this little planet period!!!" your dedication deserves all the rewards that will come your way.

 

Sounds GREAT Rik.......job well done!

 

AWESOME !!!! cant wait for the show and the book!!

 

Saw this on Facebook yest and was very impressed! Any chance you could get Jack to autograph a copy for me Rik ? (you would have to sign it as well of coarse!) I cannot afford to go to California to get him to sign a copy in person, unfortunately . Again, congrats Rik I am so looking forward to reading it. So whats next a nice big book about the history of the early custom movement perhaps ?

 

maybe I missed it but how can we get a copy of the book aside from GNRS? Will you have it available for sale here on the HAMB? Will it be distributed through major book stores?

 

That looks to be a great book, I'm in for one.

I'm willing to pay the international shipping but you might check the cost of bring pre-sold books in boxes and shipping them from LA. With pre printed shipping labels that should be fairly easy. I see that there is a 12.5 x 9.5 priority mail envelope available from the post office that goes all over the US for 5.30 US and is available from the post office. That way you wouldn't have to worry about different rates for different places and someone in LA could pick up the envelopes and have them waiting when you arrived. You don't pay until you take them to the post office to send them.

If you want to think about that pm me your mailing address and I'll send you a couple of the available envelopes so you can see if they will work.

I picked up a couple of those envelopes at the post office on a run to town. A Rodders Journal will just fit in one and my copy of How to build a Traditonal hot rod by Bishop & Tardel slips in comfortably. That's 10-1/2 x 8-3/8 x 1/2.

 

Congratulations, Rik. Hope to see you at the GNRS.

 

Thanks everybody for the great words!

Really glad you guys like the book so far.

In a couple of weeks I will have a website ready where the book can be ordered.
I'm still working on all the details for the shipping etc.
Thanks for all the suggestions.

Will keep you posted

 

Congrats Rik, I know that getting all the information together a book of this high quality is a Huge job
You are the man to do this, i am looking forward to read the book and learn!

 

That is the best news I've heard in a while...awesome job, Rik!!!

I can't wait to get a copy!

 

Congrats Rik! Your book looks great and looking forward to the website so I can place an order.

 

Can't wait!
