Automobiles & Sheet Metal Boats - Softcover
What a book! Especially if you want to build an automobile. No, not a modern streamlined sports car. I'm talking about those early chain drive beasts that competed in around-the-world races off road back before World War One... machines that might have appeared in that old movie "The Great Race." And this is not about engines or running gear. This is about taking a flat sheet of metal and creating fenders, hoods, dashboards, curved seats and all the fancy stuff. Chapters include constructing the bodies and panels, patterns for bodies and dash hoods, developing and constructing seats and doors, motor hoods, guards and fenders, separate dash hoods, tanks and accessories, and boat patterns. This is for the 1912 apprentice who wanted to get into the exploding automobile industry. You get patterns for making rumble seats, racer seats, French motor hoods, crimping techniques, rolling machinery and all the details. If there is any complaint I have, it's that this sheet metal attaches to a wood frame which is not described. But wood working is a common art these days. Fabricating sheet metal into these forms is a lost art.
