Although it can seem daunting, constructing sheet metal panels by hand is very much within the scope of the amateur restorer working from their own home workshop with the minimum of equipment. Often panels that are sold to replace the originals on historic and classic vehicles are not a good fit. Therefore, to achieve a more accurate fit, making your own panels can be the best solution. This accessible book shows how to make, repair and fit sheet metal body panels for historic and classic vehicles.

As a highly regarded authority in his craft, Bruce has trained countless professionals and amateurs in the techniques of making body panels and the restoration of vehicle bodies, and has previously authored Welding for Vehicle Restorers.
