  • Chilton's Guide to Auto Repair 1978-1985 is Excellent
I just bought this book early in 2010 .. this book as is very detailed and covers most every variation of a simple car body repair that has ever been dreamt up and is written for the simple man and not just for the auto trade repairers although I am sure they would have been happy with abook like this when they were starting out, yes you will need to have the right tools and experience always helps but this book gives you all sorts of tips to keep your repair on track even if you are not super proficient with the equipment, this is a very good book for the home repaired who wants to restore their old rusting cars but one thing lacking is that it won't teach you all the tricks of the auto painting trade so if you are looking towards respraying etc there are better books about that cover that .. I also have the Haynes paint and body repair manual but am very happy that I have the Chilton's body repair manual as it covers many areas of body repair that are not discussed in the Haynes offering, both books are easily understood and readable but if I had to only keep one then I would want o keep the Chilton's .. someone mentioned in a review somewhere that this manual is specific to certain models of car but that is untrue; this book is a generalised guide so applies to all cars .. the fact that it is a few years old doesn't matter at all as most all of the theory and products are still relevant .. I am happy that I grabbed a copy before they all dissapeared as this is the manual I will definitely be keeping till I kick the bucket or cars become obsolete .. ... show more

  • Excelente libro, cumple muy bien con el tema.
Excelente libro, cubre muy bien los temas de la holateria, da muy buena información y consejos que realmente funcionan. Yo hago la hojalatería o laminado de hooby para mis autos y los de mis amigos, no soy profesional. Lo único malo es la calidad de las hojas, estan muy delgadas y se maltratan muy fácil, hay que cuidarlo exageradamente para que no se maltraten. ... show more

  • Excellent guide
I bought this book for the metal bumping sections. I found it to be very well written; good explanations and helpful in learning how to use body hammers and dolly blocks.
