Editorial Review: Product Description: This fourth book in Motorbooks Monster Garage vehicle customization series takes readers through the basics of making parts from metal, plastic, or composites. When building custom cars or motorcycles, fabricating parts is a necessary part of the process. That is, fabricators must cut, bend, shape, weld, and fasten raw materials to create elements of their custom vehicles. A variety of fabrication processes used by fabricators featured on Monster Garage are covered in step-by-step detail. This book is loaded with great photography shot on the set of Monster Garage and in the individual fabricators shops. Processes covered include shop set-up, basic tool selection, project planning, sheet metal fabrication, welding, machining, working with plastics and composites, and more. Average Rating:

Read More Rating:  - Not what the title says.If you think you will actually learn how to fabricate something, you will be disappointed. It is not a HOW-TO book at all. It's nothing more than a listing of monster garage projects describing things they built. Most is a self-aggrandizement description of how great they are and the wild big stuff they built. Some don't even have a picture of the project. A better title is " Some stuff we built on Monster Garage". There are no tricks of the trade, nothing new or enlightening, most stuff can't be built ...
