Sheet Metal Fabrication: Techniques and Tips for Beginners and Pros (Motorbooks Workshop)

A lot of information,love the book

A lot of key topics, huge amount of illustrations. Author shares great experience about work and tools and gives a lot of tips . Very valuable book.

this book is a good read with lots and lots of very relevant info on the subject matter it shows quite a lot of tricks that are used in every day work to achieve the customers desires and in doing so provides plenty of good information and tips to the reader

Sounds silly, but what really got me on this book was the author's introduction. Eddie Paul explained why he enjoyed doing bodywork and forming sheetmetal. Like many things, most anybody can do 85% of it with a little practice. and Mr. Paul expains how to get started and assures the reader that you can do it and it is quite satisfying. The technical discussions in the book are excellent. He lays out the basic concepts of metal composition and metal forming in understandable, yet technically savvy dialogue. Sounds stupid, but not only did Mr. Paul lay out the techniques, he inspired me to try my hand. Not a lot of authors can do that.

Very well written and accessible. It's a good intro to auto body tools and shops in general. It is lacking in specific forming techniques but those can be found at other sources. It will introduce you to what's required for auto body work.

The book is very good.!! Beautiful pictures. Everything good explained.!! Receivet the book 2 11 days ahead of scheduled. The book envelope and book was not damaged.

Ein tolles Buch, für jeden Interessierten im Bereich Karosseriebau. Egal ob Einsteiger oder Profi ich glaube, es ist für jeden etwas dabei. Obwohl das komplette Buch in Englisch ist, kann ich es trotz allem jeden Empfehlen der nicht sonderlich Sprachbegabt ist. Denn sämtliche Vorgänge werden ausführlich Schritt für Schritt anhand von Bildern deutlich erklärt! Ein muss für jeden Autoliebhaber der sich auch gern selber mal die Hände schmutzig macht! ( Wichtig: Auch das Thema TopChop wird auf den letzten Seiten behandelt)

excellent detail

Book had enough info on the Custom Building of Modified Rear Fenders for over sized Rear Tires and Wheels. It will be helpful with all the other info that I've collected, to build my new Fenders, which I plan on eventually working into the Stamping Molds so that I can do this for others who want to use over sized Wheels and Tires.

Looks like some advertising for tool brands... Manual shaping with hammers not covered

Good book, if your interested in Automotive sheetmetal fabrication, then you will find it interesting.
