Sheet Metal Fabrication: Techniques and Tips for Beginners and Pros (Motorbooks Workshop)
Description
In our mechanized day of mass production, the craft of hand-forming sheet metal into compound curves and dashing fins and fenders is fast becoming a lost art. Eddie Paul is a master at sheet metal fabrication (among other accomplishments), and in this book he gives readers the means to mold their own sheet metal creations. Paul's engagingly written book talks about the necessary tools and how to use them; how to choose, prepare and work with the right material; how to make forms and mock-ups, and much more. Whether you want to mold a fender for a custom car or just learn about this intriguing process, Sheet Metal Fabrication is a thoroughly readable reference book and guide, and a uniquely valuable resource.

Great book.
When it comes to sheet metal work I'm a complete beginner with an interest in custom motorcycles. This book manages to cover so many areas in great depth but is still easy to understand it is quiet an achievement. I will find it a useful "how to" book and reference guide for years to come. Great value and a joy to read.

i am a sheetmetal worker by trade and this book gives some good tips on car body fabrication however the best one i have come across is the sheet metal work bible which i think is a top publication on the subject

The Eddie Show
I bought this book only because the one i wanted was out of stock.I was wanting to pick up knowledge and skills to apply to car restoration at quite a basic level. What i got was the Eddie Promotional Tour. Take a walk around the workshop; marvel at all the nice machines and toys they have and gasp in wonder as the man himself lets out some of the secrets of using them.for sure there are some good tips to be had from the book but there is for my taste far too much product placement and self promotion. Most of the top tips relate to his own workshop and machines therein; hardly relavent to most home workshops.If this is the best practical guide to classic car restoration available i will write my own.

Ab raus selber ausprobieren...
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)

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.
