This up-to-the minute text includes only the very latest techniques in unibody collision repair and refinishing. I-CAR matching and other I-CAR approved techniques and practices are thoroughly covered, including MIG welding, sectioning, and pulling. Information is presented in a logical sequence and progresses from covering shop procedures, tools, and equipment to estimating costs and restoring corrosion protection. This book is based entirely upon the I-CAR curriculum package and can be used in conjunction with other I-CAR materials.

Providing insights, ideas, and tips for solving real-world fabrication problems, this guide presents a broad range of methods from different welding specialties and a brief understanding of the nonwelding knowledge nearly all welders must have to advance in their trade.

Step-by-step projects cover the latest information on panel adhesives, improved repair strategies, unibody vehicles, media blasting, panel overhaul and replacement, and tools and techniques for water-based paint products.
