If anyone need a great book (it is actually 2 books) on bodywork, I just bought and read these, and its the best books I have read on the subject so far, very highly recommended. Available in swedish and english.

Love reading books like that.  Is it text heavy or does it have a lot of photos?    I could not find any samples of the inside of the book on the site.

It's a lot of pictures to illustrate and show examples. I can take a picture of some pages in mine if you want.

@soundcontrol   I've been reading this book about metalwork, panel beating and body work.... and it's fantastic.    :bradsthumb:  Thanks for suggesting it.   :wave:

Yes! The best I have read so far also. I found that the author Bengt Blad, has his shop only an hour from where I live so I called him, and had him help me fixing the bad bump in my quarter skin body line. (That I have another thread here about). I filmed the procedure also, I will post it here soon, but I need his OK for that.

I will also go there later and have him teach me how to use lead filler, will film that also if he is OK with it.

I really like this book and still refer to it. Of course it is more for making/fitting panels and I used it a lot before the AMD days.

I don't know, maybe just vacation, if you are close to Budapest and need a book, mail him! He's a cool guy.
