Sheet Metal Fabrication Basics: 30 Years of Advice from Fatman Fabrication's Brent Vandervort: Biker Basics

Sheet Metal Fabrication Basics is designed to provide how-to help for fabricators working at home and in small shops. Whether the goal is a hand-made air dam of a one-off air cleaner cover, the project can be done without expensive power tools. With help from fabricators like Rob Roehl, tin-man for bike-builders Donnie Smith, the book documents the creation of numerous simple shapes, made mostly with hammer and dolly, hand-operated shrinker-stretcher, and various mallets. Some objects are made from more than one piece, thus the book also includes a section on welding both aluminum and steel.
