I gave this book to one of my sons because he owns a sheet metal shop and has worked on cars. He did like it and learned something new. Good for beginners nad experienced.

This book is full of great demonstrations of what can be done with sheet metal fabrication. I was impressed with the overwhelming amount of color photographs. It isn't wordy, it isn't even particularly well formatted, but it communicates visually, and is the closest you can probably get in book-form to being apprenticed at a body shop.

Must have for anybody who loves cares and even dreams to work on them one day. The beginning brings you up to speed on what the English Wheel is and what it does. The rest of the chapters walk you through step-by-step on how to create/design parts for your car. This book does a great job of using small text boxes and many many pictures to help you understand each step of the process.
