This text provides comprehensive, step-by-step coverage of auto body repair. It is logically organized to cover such topics as unibody construction and repair, working with and welding new high-strength alloys, automobiles with chassis computers, and tools and equipment. A separate chapter is devoted to paint and refinishing techniques. Rustproofing and corrosion protection (materials and techniques) are also covered in an individual chapter. Highlighted "procedure" segments and "shop Talk" topics (from professional auto body technicians) are also included. This book should be of interest to students of auto body repair.
