Another Great Book In The Series Excellent and complete as all of the books by Matt Joseph are. It really strikes a balance by not being too advanced for the beginner nor too slow for the more advanced hobbyist. The illustrations are superb and the writing is fun and never takes itself too seriously. Above all, the author really does a great job giving enough information so that the entire process can be understood. I cannot recommend this or any of Joseph's other books highly enough! Now if we could just get him to write a series on Motorcycle restoration. Paul said This book didn't measure up. I was not happy with this book. It tells you what can be done with sheet metal forming, but doesn't give you any idea on really how to do it. Gives you pictures on a work in progress, but not any steps on how they got there. I thought this book was not worth the money.. "Exactly what I was looking for" according to Danno. This book was exactly what I was looking for. Included great tips I had not found in any other book. Matt Joseph's guidance and great photos will help anyone learn or continue to develop their skills in this craft.
