Reviews
"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
I've been working with steel as a hobby for over 30 years, & there is some real good information in this manual. Lots of good quality photos & easy to understand instruction. Good to have around as a reference
Extremely knowledgeable and well known in the industry. I highly recommend Barr’s teaching and the auto restoration program at McPherson College in Kansas.
I am a rookie metalshaper, and am always looking for new or better information to work metal easier.
This book is expensive (as metal working books go) but I picked up a couple of good tips that made it worth the price.
