SA Design Bodywork and Rust Repair
There comes a time when just about every car on the road will need some form of rust or body repair. Quite often, if the car is a daily driver for running errands, repairs are never made, and the car eventually ends up in junkyard heaven. For our beloved collector cars, hot rods, and musclecars, dents, dings, and rust are not an option, and neither is the scrap heap. And for just about any restoration project, the bodywork is by far the most expensive part of the process. In SA Design Automotive Bodywork and Rust Repair, veteran Matt Joseph shows you the ins and outs of tackling both simple and difficult rust and metalwork projects. It also includes a comprehensive resource guide. Whether you want to tackle a full restoration project or just save money by doing minor repairs yourself, Automotive Bodywork and Rust Repair is the book to get you through it! Topics include: * How to select the proper tools for the job * Common-sense approaches to the task ahead of you * Preparing and cleaning sheet metal * Section fabrications and repair patches * Welding options such as gas and electric * Forming, fitting, and smoothing * Cutting metal * Final metal finishing (including filling and sanding) * The secrets of lead filling * Making panels fit properly * And much more!

Vintage Volkswagen Beetle Accessories
Take a fun and nostalgic look at the world of Volkswagen accessories. It's well documented that the VW Beetle is the best-selling vehicle of all time. In 1972, the 15-millionth Beetle was produced, breaking the record set by the Model T about 40 years earlier. It was a simple design with styling that appealed to the masses. The Bug was affordable, practical, and fun. Because it was such a simple car and so many were sold, many people enjoy customizing their model with accessories, which has been a large market for these cars dating back to the 1950s and '60s. There's even a market today for people who collect these accessories without installing them. In SA Design's "Vintage Volkswagen Beetle Accessories," authored by veteran VW historian Stephan Szantai, a whole range of accessories are covered. Of course, a history of the Beetle is detailed, as well as the companies that formed the accessory aftermarket. Included are accessories for dressing up the exterior of the car, such as vented windows, bumpers and guards, turn-signal technology, add-on lighting, mirrors, etc. Then, interior accessories are examined, such as radios, ashtrays, gloveboxes, gauges, and clocks. No accessories book would be complete without engine accessories, covering both dress-up options and functional performance parts. Travel accessories, such as roof racks, coolers, extended gas tanks, tail racks, and coffee makers are detailed, along with wheels. A gallery of accessorized Volkswagens of all types is featured, including Type 2 Buses; Type 3 squarebacks, fastbacks, and coupes; Karmen Ghias—and even single- and double-cab pickup body styles are included. Join the fun and nostalgic romp through VW accessory history with this new 144-page softcover CarTech title that features everything cool about customizing your VW. Includes 317 color photos.
