  • Cutting, shaping, and joining metal for any project
  • Fabrication from simple patch panels to complex body parts
  • Detailed instruction for welding, grinding, hammering, and shaping processes

Refurbishing the metal on a classic car or motorcycle is one of the best ways to add value and function to your project vehicle and make it road-ready once more. It's also a key skill for fabricating custom parts and panels for one-off builds. Whether you're an experienced metalworker or a hobbyist looking to improve your skills, you'll find everything you need to know in Professional Sheet Metal Fabrication.

Shaping sheet metal is a meticulous process, but it can also be fun and rewarding. Follow along as sheet metal master Ed Barr walks you through the tools and skills needed to restore or customize any vehicle in your garage. From workshop setup and safety equipment to detailed examples of how to plan your metalworking project, operate a gas welder, create a shotbag, and execute a perfect hammer stroke, you'll learn how to manipulate sheet metal and the skills necessary to refurbish even the most challenging projects. Don't let your project sit another day and gather another speck of rust—it's hammer time!
