Among the classic English motorcycles, the Triumph twins stand at
the top. Many enthusiasts consider the Triumphs to be the fastest,
the best looking, and the most popular then and now. Triumph
Motorcycle Restoration Pre-Unit, takes a thorough look at what is
required to restore a Triumph 650cc Twin built before 1963. The
book includes two-start to finish restorations: one done on a 1959
and the other a 1962. The book provides additional information on
the restoration of a 1948 Triumph. Hands-on sequences make up the
heart of this book. Abundant color photographs show the complete
assembly of both bikes, from installation of the swingarm and
chassis parts to the attachment of the fenders and gas tank. Author
and experienced Triumph mechanic, Garry Chitwood, explains the
right and wrong way to assemble these bikes, and the little things
that separate an amateur restoration from a proper and award
winning Triumph restoration. More than just a motorcycle assembly
manual, Triumph Motorcycle Restoration Pre-Unit, includes the
overhaul and assembly of a 650cc twin engine, and the four-speed
transmission. Both operations are explained in detail complete with
photos and torque specifications. Rather than try and explain the
minute differences that separate different models and years, the
new Triumph Motorcycle Restoration Pre-Unit book offers a series of
color plates in the middle of the book that provide left and right
side view of most of the significant models sold in the 1950s and
early 1960s. Triumph Motorcycle Restoration: Pre-Unit offers the
Triumph motorcycle enthusiast 144 pages and over 450 photos
explaining how to buy, build and restore a Triumph 650cc twin
manufactured before 1963.
Chopping a top is an essential part of building a hot rod. The
planning, the preparation, the actual cutting, and then the
reassembly, each step must be completed correctly or the entire
project will be in jeopardy.This book gives the reader six,
start-to-finish, top chops that show each step in the process, from
paper sketches to the final welding. Readers can use the examples
shown in the book to perform their own chop - while avoiding the
mistakes that first-time builders often make. This book contains
more than photo sequences, and also includes interviews with
professional hot rod builders who help to explain the fine points
of cutting and welding. As they explain, careful planning, followed
by cautious execution, can reduce the amount of work enormously,
and ensure a positive outcome - a very cool hot rod with a chopped
top.
Every hot rod starts with a good chassis, be it a traditional Ford
Model T track roadster, a Pro/Street fat-fendered Chevy, or
something in between. In this book, the professional builders at
SO-CAL bring more than sixty years of experience into play, and
show how to build a chassis that will last and do the job.
Sheet Metal Bible is a compendium of sheet metal fabrication
projects, everything from simple shaping operations to multi-piece
creations like fenders and motorcycle gas tanks. Each of these
operations is photographed in detail, including the building of a
buck when necessary. Meaty captions help the reader to understand
what's really happening as a flat sheet of steel slowly morphs into
the convex side of a gas tank. The book is filled with work by
legendary fabricators like Ron Covell, Rob Roehl and Bruce Terry.
Side bars scattered throughout the book include interviews that
help explain how each of these master metal men learned his craft,
which tools they prefer, and where to put the seams on a
multi-piece fabrication project.
Ferrari built their first racing cars by hammering sheet metal over
tree-trunks; why should the same principle not apply to Bikers?
"Sheet Metal Fabrication Basics" is designed to provide how-to help
for fabricators working at home and in small shops. Whether the
goal is a hand-made air dam or a one-off air cleaner cover, the
project can be done without expensive power tools. With help from
fabricators like Rob Roehl, tinman for bike-builders Donnie Smith,
the book documents the creation of numerous simple shapes, made
mostly with hammer and dolly, hand-operated shirker-stretcher, and
various mallets. Some objects are made from more than one piece,
thus the book includes a section on welding both aluminum and steel
- altogether a unique guide for any biker!
Whether restoring an antique John Deere or new Chevy Truck, they
both need the same finishing touch: a good coat of paint, both to
add value to a collectors item - as it's the first thing noticed -
and to protect a working vehicle. This book explains the various
types of paint available, from brush-on enamel to the latest
two-stage urethane. Ten chapters of expert advice cover everything
needed: choosing and using a spray gun, how to set up a booth with
adequate air movement, and the importance of overlapping each pass
with the spray gun. The paint job itself starts with good metal
preparation - which is fully explained - followed by the
application of filler and the first coat of primer.All steps from
bare metal to finish paint are fully explained and illustrated in
easy to follow step-by-step instructions. Also included are two
step-by-step paint jobs that fully illustrate every task necessary
to carry out a good paint job, and advice and instruction are given
on finishing touches such as roundels and logos. Suitable for the
beginner, first-timer, and expert, this book can be used to obtain
professional results with any tractor or truck using the automotive
paints available today, and is invaluable for any tractor or truck
owner.
A follow-up to his popular Sheet Metal Fabrication, author Tim
Remus taps into the talents of master craftsmen to bring you more
techniques for forming aluminum and steel into the one-of-a-kind
parts that make your street rod or custom cycle more than a "me
too" machine. This book is lavishly illustrated with quality
photographs. Remus takes you through a number of start-to-finish
sequences with the finest metal workers in the field. If you strive
build a truly unique machine, Advanced Sheet Metal Fabrication is
the book for you.
