Tim Remus


Develop the skills you need to build your own sheet metal parts! Expert customizer Tim Remus combines his knowledge with metal-workers Steve Davis, Bob Monroe, Steve Moal, and Craig Naff to provide all the instruction you need to get the job done right. 

Detailed chapters cover the right tool for the job, materials, welding, repairs, building from scratch and finish work, plus tips on how to repair and modify an existing part starting from square one. Create your own complex shapes from scratch or repair damaged panels with help from today's knowledgeable craftsmen.

 In an age when most products come off an assembly line at the rate of hundreds per hour, an increasing number of individuals yearn to build a fender, a hood or side cover with their own hands. Whether you're restoring an old Packard, building a unique Hot Rod, customizing your Harley-Davidson, or trying to keep an old biplane in the air, the parts you require can't be purchased from a catalog. This book covers the methods you need to build those fenders, side covers, and deck lids.
