This book,written for the automotive body enthusiast, covers shaping techniques, hammer forming, shrinking and stretching, use of an English Wheel, beaders, rollers, and power hammers. These, and other basic hand tools are described with the proper techniques for their use.

These skills will allow the builder or restorer to make or repair complex shapes from aluminum sheet where composites may have previously been considered the only option. It will compliment any sheet metal worker who wants to go beyond the basic skills of bending, cutting and riveting.

Ron & Sue Fournier introduce the reader to the how's & why's of working with sheet metal. With over 30 Years in the business, Ron is both award winning author, and master metalsmith.

This 138 page book is by no means a seminal work on the subject, but then again, it doesn't try to be. What it does attempt to do is give the reader a basic, but solid education in the ways of sheet metal, when applid to the automotive field. In this respect, the book is an invaluable resource for any automotive enthusiast.
