About this product

Product Information

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 restorer Matt Joseph shows you the ins and out 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. Also included is a comprehensive resource guide. Whether you decide 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.

  • Automotive Bodywork and Rust Repair - a book for the restorer or amateur repairer

    I purchased my first copy of this book a few years ago and it soon became my bible for minor repairs to my vehicles. It explains the repair processes in a simple language, which is competently supported by loads of colour photos. The emphasis is on rust and bodywork repair, including spray painting and touch-up, rather than full body restoration but one could use the advice in this book to pursue more involved projects for which other reference books will be needed. I purchased this copy when I thought I lost my bible copy, which I subsequently found. Now I have two copies and unlikely to lose both. Highly recommended for the automobile DIY-er with the necessary repair tools & equipment, which I am fortunate to have and which I collected over many years.
