excellent book excellent value for money
I found this book very informative,packed with very usefull information covering allmost all aspects of body work relating to manufacture,restoration,fabrication and rebuilding of classic vehicles or even building one from scratch. excellent book recommended for novice or professionals alike. This book gives the reader an insight into repairing,shaping and manufacture of steel/alloy body panels using different tools and machines in order to achieve a satisfactory end result. Obviously the only way to carry out any practical task is to do so with ones hands and available tools/machines,but this book read/refered to will go a long way to help/guide you in order to carry out the task in the correct manner. It also gives an insight into the tools required,proceedures in order for the reader to obtain the same for there own projects/work.

Excellent guide
This is a very nice book! It is thick, has plenty of pictures, and goes through pretty much everything you will need to understand to get started with sheet metal fabrication. By getting started I mean it explains which tools you will need, and a few you should avoid. The Author talks in detail on how to use the tools. Now just so we are clear, you cannot become a metal master by reading a book. But this book is a good starting point and you will need to practice the techniques in the book. After some practice you can get pretty good at metal working, and for your needs that may be enough. I don't know what you are aiming for, maybe to make some rust repair panels, fabricate brackets, etc. Maybe you want to be able to create flawless body panels? If so, this book will get you started and then you probably need to progress on to other areas, books or hands on training, to get to the level you need. But either way, this book is a great start. I have learned quite a few things from books and from people skilled at metal work over the years. I still find myself wanting to learn more. That is why I picked up this book. There are a few books I have come across over the years where I was pretty disappointed due to the lack of detail in the book, but this one is much more thorough. I am quite satisfied with this book.
