Isky: Ed Iskenderian and the History of Hot Rodding by Matt Stone

Delve into the life of Ed Iskenderian, a gifted machinist with a natural knack for promotion,

who started a cam business from the ground up and became a leading cam authority and hot rodding icon.

This book tells the whole story, including his pre-war Lake Muroc and car club activities, his military service,

how he started a small business fabricating parts and making cams in the back of a rented shop,

and how he then sold those cams to other rodders. It covers how he grew a business from a single cam grinder

and became an authority in the field in barely 10 years.
