There comes a time when just about every car on the
road will need some form of rust or body repair. Quite
often, if the car is a daily driver for running errands,
repairs are never made, and the car eventually ends up
in junkyard heaven. For our beloved collector cars, hot
rods, and muscle cars, dents, dings, and rust are not an
option, and neither is the scrap heap. And for just about
any restoration project, the bodywork is by far the most
expensive part of the process.
In Automotive Bodywork and Rust Repair, veteran
Matt Joseph shows you the ins and outs of tackling both
simple and difficult rust and metalwork projects. This
book teaches you how to select the proper tools for the
job, common-sense approaches to the task ahead of
you, preparing and cleaning sheet metal, section
fabrications and repair patches, welding options such as
gas and electric, forming, fitting and smoothing, cutting
metal, final metal finishing, including filling and sanding,
the secrets of lead filling, making panels fit properly, and
more. It also includes a comprehensive resource guide.
Whether you want to tackle a full restoration project,
or just want to save money by doing minor repairs
yourself, Automotive Bodywork and Rust Repair is the
book to get you through it. With 160 pages & 450 colour photos. SB. SKU: SA166 ISBN: 9781932494976 |
