"Of all the skills required for old car projects, manipulating
metal is the one most closely regarded as a black art, one not
easily conveyed in print. It's refreshing then to find that
Professional Sheet Metal Fabrication author Ed Barr appears to
possess that rare combination of highly defined skills along with
the acumen to present them in a manner that absolute beginners can
understand and use. At just past 300 pages, a lot of ground is
covered, and this in-depth manual could well become your go-to
resource." - Hemmings Motor News
